Albertsons / Safeway Meat Warehouse - We Need Wages that Keep-Up But Management Falls Short

/
2021 0812 - Meat Warehouse Update2.jpg

Your Union bargaining committee met with Albertsons/Safeway Management on August 10 & 11, to end the delay in bargaining due to changes in the pension.

We started out by letting Management know that since we last met, things have changed:

There is a nationwide shortage of workers due to the pandemic which is driving wages up,

Other union workers in the DC have settled their contracts with substantial wage increases. 

We were clear that we need to keep up with wages in our DC.

While there was some positive movement on some important items, our core issue of equal wages to other workers doing similar work, Management’s wage proposal fell short of what is a fair contract. We moved closer but aren’t there yet.

“Management’s wage proposal fell short, so we need to take action to show them that we are all serious about getting a fair contract before we bargain again on September 7!”

— Jimbo

It’s time to take action! Management needs to see and hear from you all that what they are proposing is unacceptable and needs to change. We will have UFCW 21 masks in the workplace soon! Mask-up and show your support for a fair contract.   

We will also be having online Zoom meeting with members of the committee and the union spokesperson.
