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:
Updating your information to ensure you receive all updates during the bargain
Wearing your union button every shift
Discussing the bargain with your coworkers—it’s your right!
Sharing your feedback: The Bargaining Committee wants to hear from you! Look for us in the store and let’s talk.
RSVP for our next bargaining dates: August 22 & 23. We hope to see you there! Bargaining will be held at the Sea-Tac Hilton right off the airport light rail station. (Sea-Tac Hilton, 17620 International Blvd, Seattle, WA 98188)
