Bargaining Team: Dan Howes, Produce - Crown Hill; Alej Gallardo, Meat Cutter - Sammamish; Devin Kjolso, Meat Cutter - Uptown; Maggie Baze, Mercer Island; Tori Nakamatsu-Figaroa, Bakery - Uptown; Bill Graves, Maintenance Clerk - Crown Hill; Felicity, Sand Point; Kelly Shaffer, Bakery - Uptown (not pictured)
Our bargaining team met with Metropolitan Market again after nearly two months since our last bargaining session. Although there was significant time between bargaining sessions, we continued to organize—wearing buttons and organizing leaflets at our stores until we reach a deal.
At the bargaining table on October 2, we made significant progress on aligning our interests with Metropolitan Market with key issues—apprentice wage scale progression, training & development investments, department head premiums, and other contract improvements. While many of the concepts our employer discussed were benefit improvements, some of our key issues still need to be addressed—guaranteed hours and wages.
A significant part of our discussion was Metropolitan Market's desire to merge the seafood clerk and meat wrapper classifications into one. While this would significantly raise wages for seafood clerks and provide more flexibility in the department, our bargaining team raised concerns regarding our wrapper's right to daily seniority, labor hours and staffing, and workload. We will continue this discussion at our next bargaining session which will be scheduled soon.
If you're interested in hearing more about negotiations or want to share your thoughts on existing proposal discussion, please reach out to your union representative or bargaining team member.
