The practice of “rounding” timecards at the seven-to-eight-minute mark is being eliminated, and we will instead be transitioning to “actual” timekeeping: where employees are paid to-the-minute. While we anticipate that this change will improve the overall accuracy of our timecards (& potentially increase the amount of compensable time-worked we are paid for overall), there are a few anticipated impacts this change may have, and therefore negotiated the below protections through our Union:

Vote Notice for WA Beef Contract
Bargaining Team Recommends Vote “YES”

Your Union bargaining team returned to negotiations on October 29 & 30. On October 30, the company presented its final offer, which includes amongst other things:

  • A salary increase of $1 in the first year and 50 cents in the following two years.

  • $75 for work shoes/boots for employees with at least one year of service.

  • An increase of $200 to $400 for tools for mechanics/maintenance.

  • No changes to the Medical insurance and 401K.

  • This contract would last for 3 years.

While this contract may seem insufficient to us, as we know we can achieve better wages given that the industry is highly organized in the country, we understand that this increase is historic for this company.This is just a small example of what we can achieve if we are UNITED and ORGANIZED. Imagine how far we can go together.

"This is the first of many good things that will come for workers, who truly deserve something dignified because we know the work they do and what workers mean to this company."

— Juan Carlos Cervantes

The Union Negotiations Committee recommends that its members vote YES on the company's final offer, but with the hope that we can continue the conversation with all members, as it is time to organize better.

"This is the beginning of many good things that will come in the contracts."

— Alondra Ceballos

History begins to be written today, and together, we are the protagonists.We are confident that, in three years, we will be able to negotiate a better collective bargaining agreement, as we will be stronger and each committee will have the support of union members.

"Workers need to attend the meetings because for the next contract, we need to come educated; we need to know our rights. These coming years will be 3 years of organization, and we want representatives from each table for the committee in the next contract."

— Araceli Brito

For now, we invite members to come to the vote for this new contract on November 14.

You may attend any time during the polling times to vote. The full final offer will be available to review at the vote. All members in good standing are eligible and encouraged to vote.

"Before, they didn't even give us $1, but it's the first time people are coming together in the Union, and now everyone wants to know their rights; this is a good start for next time."

— Edgar Rodriguez

With a Union, WE write the future.

Imaginen hasta dónde podremos llegar juntos.

"Esta es la primera de muchas cosas buenas que van a venir para los trabajadores, que en realidad se merecen algo digno porque sabemos el trabajo que hacen y lo que significa el trabajador para esta compañía."
