Macy's - One Nickel is a "Big Move"?
/
On September 1, Macy’s gave us a comprehensive counter proposal including wages.
Spoiler alert! We were underwhelmed. Macy’s increased their wage proposal by just $0.05. They told us that based on their other economic proposals, they thought that this was a “big move.”
There was small progress on other things, but Macy’s continues to stand by:
It’s ridiculous Reliability Attendance policy,
Eliminating the wage scales that get associates to the top rates of pay, and
Taking away credit for past Macy’s experience when rehired.
On healthcare, Macy’s proposed a drastic premium increase for the Platinum levels of coverage. When we dove into the numbers to make a counter proposal, we ended up having more questions than answers, which we are now waiting for before we can move ahead.
“Macy’s might think that we are just numbers on a spreadsheet; but they need to know that we are real people trying to survive. Their wage proposal won’t even cover half of how much rent has increased!”

Those of us who have been through many bargains with Macy’s know that change only comes from when Macy’s workers take action!
Tell Macy’s their offer makes them unreliable! Take our Macy’s Reliability Survey and tell Macy’s they need to change their offer.

Get ready to take action when we present management with the results of the survey. Spoiler Alert! It’s not looking good for the boss.
