Puget Sound Allied Grocery Stores Oak Harbor Saar’s Market Meat Contract Vote Scheduled!
/
After months of bargaining, leafleting, info-picketing, a 97% strike authorization vote in June 2025, our union Bargaining Team harnessed all that power from thousands of grocery workers to fight and win a fair contract.
All that organizing helped win:
First-of-its-kind staffing language
Strong Journey wage increases
Health and pension funding that sees no benefits cuts
Contract alignment with Snohomish Grocery and Spokane-area grocery/meat, uniting nearly 30,000 grocery workers across Washington State in one flight
“This is the ninth time I’ve sat at this table—this contract allows us to majorly build our power in the region” —Jeff Smith, Fred Meyer GM
Now it is our turn to vote! Our union member-led bargaining team reached a tentative agreement and recommends a YES vote to accept the proposal from the employer.
These votes are open to all active Meat members of UFCW 3000 at Saar’s in Oak Harbor.
Members in good standing are eligible to vote at the following location and date:
Wednesday, January 21 from 8am to 11am
Saar’s Market- Oak Harbor, 32199 State Route 20, Oak Harbor, WA 98277 in the Break Room
Our Team will present the tentative agreement received from the Employer at the vote meeting. Members will have the opportunity to discuss the terms and implications of the fully recommended settlement offer before voting on it.
