Zenith Spokane - Bargaining Update: Our Unity is Working!

The company has changed their Last and Final offer that we voted down by 97%! Our bargaining team has reviewed the company's latest offer which has moved significantly toward our last proposal. We are close, but not close enough to fully recommend a contract for approval.

The company MUST understand we will not move backwards during the term of this contract. Please continue to support the union bargaining team, as we continue the fight!

Bargaining Team: Tiffanie Ibach, Jessica Flatt, Jeannie Payton

Spokane Zenith - Fair Contract Now! Online Vote Scheduled

After months of negotiations, it is time to vote on Zenith's final offer to us. Our coworker-led bargaining team is recommending a 'NO' vote on the employer offer and a 'YES' vote for an unfair labor practice strike authorization.

We believe the company has committed unfair labor practices, and the company’s last final offer doesn’t come close to being market competitive, and the additional healthcare costs mean more money out of our hard-earned wages. The work we do for this company must be respected. It is apparent from the company's latest offer that our work is not valued.

UFCW 3000: 125 Years of Solidarity

April 2, 2025 marks UFCW 3000’s quasquicentennial, a word so fancy that nobody quite knows how to say it. Regardless of how you pronounce it, the absurdly Latinate term means we’ve been around for 125 years. During that time, we’ve grown from a crew of nine butchers in downtown Seattle to the largest private-sector union in the Pacific Northwest, representing more than 56,000 workers in grocery, retail, food processing, health care, laundry and textiles, cannabis, and others industries.
