Bartell Drugs - Bargaining Begins!
Our Bargaining Team: Dani Fisher & Trevor Peterson
After months of delays, Management finally came to the table to begin contract negotiations with our Bartell Bargaining Team last week. We had deep discussions on:
Bartell/Rite Aid’s plans for addressing ongoing workplace security issues and proactively protecting member safety
How we can make healthcare and other benefits more affordable and accessible for all of us
Clarifying our PTO use and accrual policies, incident reporting procedures, how to access benefit info off the clock, and reaffirming that we have the right to wear Union buttons at work
Both sides came prepared and ready to make up for the time missed, and our team and Management passed language and benefit proposals. We are hopeful that negotiations continue to be productive as we prepare for our next session on September 1, 2023.
STAND TOGETHER—WEAR YOUR UNION BUTTONS EVERY DAY!
Bartell/Rite Aid’s national Director of Labor Relations confirmed during negotiations that we have the right to wear our UFCW 3000 buttons at work. So let’s do it! We’ll be wearing our Union buttons every day so we can show Management that we’re united and ready to fight for the higher wages, affordable benefits, and safer workplaces that we deserve!
Need more buttons? Let one of us or our Union Reps know ASAP so we can get them to you and your coworkers.
SPEAK UP—SHARE YOUR PICTURE AND YOUR STORY!
We need you, your voice, and your experiences—send pictures of you and your coworkers wearing your Union buttons to our team or our Reps!
Share your story about why you’re fighting for better pay, affordable benefits, or safer workplaces—or all three! Write it down or film a short video and share with our team or our Reps, so our coworkers can get fired up and find their own voice
