PCC Bargaining Update

KEY PROPOSALS NOW ON THE TABLE —KEEP UP THE PRESSURE!

Our Union Bargaining Committee met with PCC representatives on August 10. We put quite a few important proposals across the table, and expect serious responses from management at our next bargaining session. The proposals we made include:

  • One wage scale for all, whether you’re in Seattle or Issaquah

  • Wage proposals for Clerks, Meat Wrappers, and Meat Cutters that establish a starting wage of $25 per hour and achieve $35 per hour for journeypersons by the end of the contract!

  • Moving all Helper Clerks to the Clerk wage scale

  • Increasing the pay for group A and B by $1.00

  • Increases to our Courtesy and Service Counter wage scales

  • Increasing night pay differentials

  • Wage escalators to guarantee our wages stay above the minimum wage

  • Improved holiday language

  • Seats for cashiers as well as others

  • Strengthening the four 10-hour workdays for grocery

  • An ability to pick up open shifts through new DayForce roster

  • Increasing the rest between shifts from 10 hours to 12 hours

Take action every day to build power in the workplace! You can help further the fight for a fair contract by:
