Puget Sound Allied Grocery Stores Skagit The Market and Food Pavillion 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 Grocery and Meat members of UFCW 3000 at The Markets in Anacortes and Food Pavillion in Sedro Woolley.
