Last week, our Bargaining Committee met together for the first time. The Committee discussed the upcoming contract negotiation with Bartell Drugs, now owned by Rite Aid. We reviewed the submitted Union Bargaining Survey results and discussed the top priorities outlined by Bartell workers including: winning better pay, increasing safety at our stores, keeping good affordable healthcare coverage, maintaining strong retirement, addressing scheduling issues and building more power in the drug store industry.

Bartell workers throughout the Puget Sound continue to show solidarity by taking photos together with messages about the issues that matter most to us and our stores. Talk to our Rep or Union Steward and share your message!
