Retail Workers at Lumen Field and the Pro Shop at Renton Landing First and Goal (Football NW) Bargaining Update

We had another productive day at the bargaining table on July 31 and are pleased to share that we made our counterproposals to management. Throughout the session, we had strong back-and-forth conversations that were thoughtful, collaborative, and focused on finding solutions.

While we aren't at the end zone yet, we're feeling optimistic. The progress we made today gives us confidence that we're on the path to reaching a strong first contract—one that recognizes the value of our work and reflects the priorities that are most important to us.

Your solidarity and support will make the difference as we build this first contract. We'll keep pushing to secure a fair agreement that delivers the wages, protections, and respect workers deserve. We are stronger together, and we encourage workers to get involved and take ownership of their contract.

They Think You're Worth a Nickel

our Union Bargaining Team: Preston McInnis, Macy’s Southcenter; Ismahan Osman, Macy’s Southcenter; Curtice Bryant, Macy’s Southcenter; Samantha Wilson, Macy’s Bellingham; Jill Jackson, Macy’s Furniture Gallery Southcenter; Emily Hunter, Macy’s Alderwood; Daniel Landon, Macy’s Alderwood

Over two days of bargaining, Macy's executives increased their wage offer by a single, solitary nickel.

And to be clear, they're not offering one nickel more per year. They're offering one nickel more over the entire three years of the next union contract.

Just 👏🏻one👏🏻NICKEL! 🤬

Though the executives showed some progress when they withdrew a proposal to assign Flex Associates mandatory hours, they're still proposing the following takeaways:

• Eliminating the wage scale for new hires that helps members get established in the first two years of the contract before receiving our General Wage Increases in their third year;

• Seizing the ability to change our health care plan at any time during the contract;

• Nix our perfect attendance PTO reward;

“Macy’s gave us a nickel and then expected us to give them everything.” -Prestin McInnis

A nickel is unacceptable in a country where grocery prices are up 33% (since 2019), gas prices are up double digits, and we're all struggling to make ends meet.

The time has come to show Macy’s what we are worth by taking action!

Broadcast Coffee - Progress in Our Second Bargaining Session

Broadcast Coffee
Progress in Our Second Bargaining Session

On July 27, we held our second bargaining session with the Employer. We’re pleased to share that management arrived with its first counterproposal to our initial proposals. After a long and productive caucus, we made substantial progress toward our first tentative agreements.

We’re optimistic and excited to continue collaborating toward a contract that benefits both our members and Broadcast. We concluded Day 2 with clear next steps for the proposals on the table.

Our next date for bargaining is Thursday, August 13, and the details for our next member meeting will be finalized shortly. We’re proud of our preparation and look forward to more positive dialogue.
