Grocery Store Worker Contract Negotiations Update

Contract Action Team meetings happening this week!

If you have not already attended a meeting RSVP to a CAT meeting today!

Update From California: As part of our ongoing effort to gain power and negotiate a better contract, we have been working closely and supporting other UFCWs across the west as they negotiate. Just last week, grocery store workers with Southern California Locals authorized an Unfair Labor Practice Strike. These are similar votes to what members in Colorado took before they went on strike earlier this year. Then, after a 10- day strike those members in Colorado won historic gains in their contracts.

Here in our state, members continue to sign strike pledge cards — committing to do whatever it takes to win a good contract. Members are also taking action leafleting customers in front of our stores and asking them to support workers in our negotiations. If you would like to organize an action at your store, contact your Union Rep.

Bargaining With Employer Starts Next Week: Our union member bargaining committee has dates set to meet with the employers next week from April 4-8. This will be an important week of negotiations.
