We’re excited to announce that UFCW 3000 members at Crossroads Trading Company voted to ratify our first Union contract on April 5, 2023!

Our new Union contract includes many new benefits and protections such as:

$0.75/hr wage increase with a $350 ratification bonus, both effective later this month.

• FREE ORCA PASSPORT! All bargaining unit employees will be provided with an Orca Business Passport at no cost to employees while covered under the bargaining unit. This exciting new benefit provides UNLIMITED public transit use throughout Puget Sound! Employees should receive this pass sometime in May.

• Fair Discipline Process: Our contract includes some of the best Union discipline and discharge language, with (1) a clear and consistent discipline procedure, (2) automatic removal of discipline from employee’s files, and (3) a grievance and arbitration process that allows employees to challenge their discipline.

• Workplace Safety: The employer must provide onsite security personnel to protect employees anytime an employee is onsite. They are also required to provide all employees with anti-bias and de-escalation training.

• Schedule Posting: The Employer must post work schedules at least 14 days ahead of the start of the schedule.
