After eight months of bargaining, sticker-ups, button-ups, leaflets at our stores, dozens of Contract Action Team meetings, and a massively successful info picket — all to reclaim our co-op for the workers and members who built it — your Bargaining Team reached a Tentative Agreement and recommends a YES vote to accept the proposal from PCC
Read MoreOver the last several months, we’ve stickered up, buttoned up, leafleted our stores, attended dozens of Contract Action Team meetings, and educated our customers and coworkers at a massive info picket — all to reclaim our co-op for the workers and members who built it.
And now, after bargaining into the wee hours of the morning on June 11, our worker-elected, member-led Bargaining Team has reached a tentative agreement with PCC.
Our member-led Bargaining Team returned to the table on May 26 with a mediator, which PCC requested, and we still have NO DEAL!
“The Employer says they won’t offer backpay unless our demands are reasonable. There is nothing reasonable about asking your staff to lowball their own worth.” — Connor Burk, Central District PCC

UFCW 3000 Yakima Office 507 S 3rd St Yakima WA 98901
Our workplace actions have given us momentum and have captured the PCC’s attention, but their sluggishness at the table tells us we need to get louder. That’s why we scheduled an Informational Picket on Wednesday, April 15. Together, we’ll show PCC’s administrators how ready we are to fight for the contract we deserve.

Our Union has approached Uwajimaya bargaining with the goal of shaping an independent grocery contract that reflects the unique nature of meat cutting and wrapping at Uwajimaya. After months of bargaining, we have made considerable progress on securing our health care benefits and retirement.
However, there is still work to do.
"Uwajimaya's latest proposal still puts us below market on wages."
— Aaron, Uwajimaya Bargaining Team Member
Uwajimaya has a vision for growth. At the bargaining table, they said that they want to double their stores in the next few years. Their current wage proposals would not only put us behind on wages compared to the market, they don't want to pay retro on those wages either. How do their most recent proposals make us feel about their growth strategy?
They've also proposed language that would limit our Union's jurisdiction for new stores. Uwajimaya wants to stand out from the rest of their union grocery competitors by lowering wages and limiting our ability to grow power. We're not going to let that happen!
While we've made a lot of progress bargaining so far, core issues are still on the table. So, what's next?
We're gearing up for a campaign—to win an agreement that reflects the value, tenure, and hard work we bring to Uwajimaya. Join our contract action team meeting to discuss our Union's plan of action to win!
Bargaining Team: Ashley Toshi, Uwajimaya Renton; Jesse Marlar, Uwajimaya Seattle; Aaron Powers, Uwajimaya Bellevue
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.
