PCC Update: New Contract Ratified

PCC Union Contract Ratified

Our 3 year agreement with PCC was ratified on June 23, 2021. This agreement runs through December 31, 2023 for both grocery and meat contracts.

We won higher increases for Journey than ever before from PCC as well as improvements to our pension, new language about Safety, Training, and new Worker Caucus Committees.

“After more than half a year at the table, I have nothing but gratitude for our bargaining unit and all of my fellow PCC workers. This contract was hard fought and would not have been possible without everyone’s resilience and passion. I’m proud to have reached an agreement that brings us a step in the right direction, and hope we continue to fight for what we deserve as essential workers. Thank you everyone!” -Quinn Rao

“We have won a good contract that keeps our healthcare, strengthens our pension, and raises wages – all without any takeaways. This is an important step in the right direction.” - Scott Shifflet

No matter how you voted yesterday, this contract was made possible by all of our activism. A strong contract is a key step toward growing our power at PCC, raising standards for all co-op workers in Washington, and holding PCC accountable to their co-op roots.

But this doesn't stop with just ratifying our contract. We can keep this momentum going: Join your coworkers for a discussion July 15 @ 7pm on how we can use our recent wins- hazard pay, getting workers on the board, and ratifying a historic contract- to build power and continue to raise standards at PCC and within the grocery industry.
