Macy's Contract Votes Scheduled! Bargaining team recommends a YES vote
/
After not one but two powerful strikes in the middle of winter, our union bargaining team has reached a fully recommended tentative agreement with Macy’s that goes a long way toward respecting our work and protecting our wages and benefits. While we didn’t win everything we wanted, we were able to achieve the best Macy’s contract in the nation, with agreement on items that were at the top of our priorities list, including:
The largest ratification bonus in the country, 20% higher than where Macy’s offer was pre-strike
Protection of the MLK Day paid holiday for all current employees that Macy’s had threatened to take away with no replacement
Increased safety protections, including the right for workers to bring up safety issues or call for help without fear of discipline or retaliation
Not just protecting but increasing our wage escalators that guarantee wages stay above minimum wage even as it rises to keep up with inflation
This was a long fight for all of us, and your bargaining team is excited to review the full offer with all members at our vote meetings. The most important thing you can do now is show up to a vote meeting near you so you can get all your questions answered and cast your vote on the contract!
