Macy’s Bargaining Update 96% VOTE TO AUTHORIZE A ULP STRIKE!

Our Union Bargaining Team: Azia Domingo, Curtisy Bryant, Emily Hunter, Liisa Luick, Nicole Hardin.

During our October 6 vote, Macy’s workers made a powerful statement with 96% of workers voting to authorize an unfair labor practice (ULP) strike. We said a loud and clear “NO” to Macy’s contract offer!

Our message is straightforward:

• We stand united against Macy’s illegal actions targeting Bargaining Team member Liisa Luick.

• 50-cent raises are no longer enough, especially in light of historic inflation over the past few years.

• We demand Macy’s take significant steps in providing a safer environment for both customers and colleagues.

• NO TAKEAWAYS!

However, it’s important to note that this authorization doesn’t mean we’ll go on a ULP Strike right away. We remain committed to the negotiation process and are actively working with the Employer and a Federal Mediator to secure additional bargaining dates. We are extending Macy’s another opportunity to meet our straightforward demands. However, if they fail to do so, we may find ourselves on a ULP Strike during the holiday season.

We invite all members to join our upcoming series of Picket Captain training sessions. These sessions will equip you with the skills to become a Picket Captain, a workplace leader who plays a pivotal role in preparing for and implementing a ULP Strike. Picket Captains are essential to the success of our ULP Strike, as they sign up co-workers for picket schedules, can answer co-workers’ questions about a ULP Strike, and help us all work together to secure a fair contract.
