The bargaining team met again on Monday September 18 at the UFCW 3000 Des Moines office. PPGHNAIK management joined us via ZOOM again.

Both sides made concessions on non-economic issues in the name of progressing toward an agreement. We have now reached a tentative agreement on the large majority of the non-economic articles in our contract. Since we provided the last proposal on economics, we await management’s response this Thursday. We are optimistic more progress will be made at our next bargaining session on Thursday September 21, 2023. 

Please reach out to your bargaining team or Union Representative Charlie King (206) 436-6518 with any questions or concerns.
