UFCW 3000 Announces 3-Day Strike at Macy’s Across Western Washington

A group of Macy's workers and supporters at an informational picket earlier this year.

UFCW Local 3000 members at Macy’s have been engaged in contract negotiations with their employer for over 8 months. Over the course of negotiations Macy’s has engaged in unfair labor practices (ULPs) that have interfered with the bargaining process, refused to agree to sensible safety language, and is offering most workers a meager 50 cents annual wage increase all while proposing to eliminate their wage scales.

Workers have had enough, announcing a 3-day unfair labor practice strike that will begin on Black Friday and carry through the busy holiday weekend. Strikes will be held at Union Macy’s stores at Southcenter Mall in Tukwila, Alderwood Mall in Lynnwood, and Bellis Fair Mall in Bellingham.

UFCW Local 3000 members across all industries can help striking Macy’s workers by signing up for a shift on the strike line. You can also RSVP to the Macy’s Striking Workers Parade, which will kick off the ULP strike to great fanfare at the Southcenter location on Black Friday!
