On March 10, our rank-and-file Bargaining Team met with PCC to try to reach a deal. We were prepared to bargain all night, but we left disappointed when PCC failed to present us with a full, comprehensive proposal.

Despite winning three more Tentative Agreements, we still need to win guaranteed hours and increased pay for helper clerks and Journeypersons. We still need to maintain our affordable health care, limit outsourcing in our stores, strengthen democratic governance with a robust Labor Management Committee, and provide safeguards if the federal government surges ICE agents into the communities we serve.

PCC did not come prepared with proposals capable of meeting those needs. And we simply do not see the respect that we deserve in the proposals they did deliver:

“Management is wasting time while the union is here to make good deal. PCC has doubled down on proposals that erode our benefits instead of acting like a co-op that cares for its workers and community” - Forrest East, Green Lake Aurora
