PCC - PCC Reveals Priorities

In a week where PCC promotes office staff and shares that their sales have increased 25% over the past year, they hold to their unacceptable wage proposal. Through three days of bargaining PCC proposes no wage increases in the first year of the contract and no increases to the wage scale through the life of the contract, with only an increase to the Journey rate of 5 cents from their last proposal. 

Last week our Bargaining Committee made wage proposals to increase the Journey rate of pay by $1.45 each year with improvements to the wage scale in each year of the contract, including a safeguard to keep our wages above State and Seattle minimum wage. We reached an agreement for new safety committee language in the contract which will help ensure a safer workplace. We also made proposals that maintained our commitment to improve our retirement, create a better process for PCC to partner with community and to create a training program that would help workers develop skills in our industry. 

Join us at a Contract Action Team meeting where we will be doing a Picket Captain Training and discussing how to prepare for a possible strike.

“PCC needs to be a leader in the Grocery industry and if they are not prepared to lead, we are prepared to fight to return PCC to its roots and for a contract that gives us better wages, better access to training, a better retirement and community a stronger voice.”
