It's Time To Vote! Grocery Store Worker Negotiations Tentative Agreement Reached
“I’m very excited about this agreement. It is the best contract in my career. Come to the vote meetings to see the details and vote!” — Amy Dayley, QFC
Essential grocery store workers from UFCW in Colorado, California and now here in our State of Washington are gaining some of the respect, pay and protections we deserve. After months of preparation and workers taking action, marathon bargaining sessions have led to Tentative Agreements with Albertsons/Safeway and Kroger. Our Union Member Bargaining Team reached this Tentative Agreement and recommends a YES VOTE to accept the proposal from the employers.
These votes are open to all active members of UFCW 3000 Grocery Store Workers in King, Snohomish, Kitsap, Mason, and Thurston Counties at the big chains (Safeway, Albertsons, Fred Meyer and QFC) and independent stores covered by this Tentative Agreement.
