Recovery Cafe - Bargaining Update

September 18, 2025/ UFCW 3000

On September 15, our bargaining team met with Recovery Cafe and made significant progress on our harassment language—including language protecting staff if a Recovery Cafe member harasses staff. We are moving through non-economics and plan to introduce economics at an upcoming session. This would include our vacation, healthcare and retirement benefits, wages, and other economic items.

We'll be discussing the next steps in our bargaining process, highlights of the economic proposal, and how we can win what we deserve at our membership meeting this Thursday at 7:00 PM.

We will hold our next contract membership meeting on September 18 at 7:00 PM.

If you have any questions, please reach out to your bargaining team or your union representative Allison Hanley at (206) 436-6586.
