Macy’s Furniture - It’s Time to Take Action
/
Bargaining Team: Azia Domingo, Curtisy Bryant, Emily Hunter, Liisa Luick
Our Union Bargaining Team met with management again on May 11 to continue negotiations for our next contract. After winning stronger safety language earlier in the week, our Bargaining Team decided it was finally time to submit our initial economic proposal.
Workers at the furniture galleries have reported concerns about the effect of minimum wage on sales associates draws, longer operating hours during times when customers are not shopping, and frustration with the current deficit wipe off process.
In response, our Bargaining Team proposed:
New language that establishes a cap on sales associates draw rate, regardless of the actual wage rate.
...A significant wage scale revamp for non-sales associates that ensures wages keep up with the cost of living and honors our years of service,
...Commission increases to each tier (i.e. standard, premier, elite),
...Bimonthly deficit wipe-offs for all sales associates,
...and a new high-quality and affordable Union healthcare option.
We know that Macy’s will not give into any of our demands without a serious fight, but we are willing to do what it takes to earn the respect that we deserve from our employer.
Show Macy’s that you are willing to join the fight and do whatever it takes to win a fair contract by SIGNING THE STRIKE PLEDGE CARD!
We, the workers at Macy’s, demand that Management agrees to a fair contract that offers:
Fair wage increases that keep up with skyrocketing inflation,
High quality affordable healthcare,
Significant safety improvements for both workers and customers.
