Puget Sound Allied Grocery Stores Vote YES to Authorize a Strike & NO on a Bad Contract!

As the time to reach a deal came down to the wire, the companies acted with no urgency. They made our team wait for hours between proposals, and when they did pass something back, they only moved an inch here and there. Their posture at the table spoke volumes: They don’t value our work, and they don’t think we’re ready to fight for what we deserve. We’re happy to prove them wrong.

Our bargaining team unanimously recommends a NO vote on the contract and a YES vote to authorize a strike so corporate knows they can’t push us around.

Following just two bargaining dates with MultiCare management to negotiate the terms and conditions of Women's Center employees' entry into the UFCW 3000/MultiCare Clinics union contract, our bargaining team is overjoyed to announce that we have come to a tentative agreement!

So what does that mean?

Simply put, this means that our union bargaining team has reached a final agreement with MultiCare on the part of the contract which will outline how we officially join the clinics Collective Bargaining Agreement.

The reason this is called a tentative agreement is because the next step is that we all vote on whether we accept the agreement. Permitting the majority of us agree, the process set forth will begin. 

What are my next steps?

We have scheduled votes for all of you to come by, review the agreement, and cast your ballot! We encourage all newly-represented Women's Center employees to attend, and as such we've worked to coordinate votes at all three locations:

Meeting rooms are pending confirmation from the Employer, an update will be sent from UFCW once verified!
