Puget Sound Allied Grocery Stores Contract Ratified!

/

Just a few weeks ago, we voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike. The success of that vote armed our member-led bargaining team with the power to win an agreement that fixed the low-ball, takeaway offer from Kroger and Albertsons that prompted the strike vote in the first place.

New key contract wins include:

  • Highest-Ever Average Annual Wage Increase: $2.70 over two years.

  • Healthcare Protected: Most funding ever secured ($0.55 per hour) to keep our strong, low-cost plan.

  • GM Pay Equity: Fred Meyer and QFC General Merchandise workers finally catch up.

  • Staffing Solutions: First-ever enforceable staffing language to fill more shifts in the store and new options to pick up extra hours.

  • Contract Alignment: Regions around the state now expire together in 2027, building more power for all of us.

“We’re fired up to return to the table sooner than ever—and this time with thousands more workers with us,” — Kyle Doherty, Haggen Meat

“Strong wage increases, fully funded health care, and a major breakthrough on staffing—this is a great contract that sets us up for bigger and better contracts in the future,” — Sam Dancy, QFC
