Town & Country Instacart Partnership UFCW 3000 Grievance Update

On June 17, 2026 Town & Country informed our Union that they would be discontinuing the eCommerce department at their worksites. In that notice, they neglected to inform our Union that they would then outsource that department to Instacart to do picking and staging of products for customers; something we found out by members reaching out to their Union Representatives after hearing it from management. Following a contentious meeting with Town & Country representatives, where they attempted to convince Union Representatives that outsourcing work is necessary to the business, our Union filed a grievance. Outsourcing is a direct violation of the Bargaining Unit recognition language of our Union Contract.

Kraken Team Store - Attendance Grievance Update

/

Last month, UFCW 3000 members at the Kraken Team Store raised concerns about the company's new attendance requirement policy. Our grievance states that any new attendance policies violate our Union contract, and on October 8, our Union met with management to discuss a resolution.

During the grievance meeting, UFCW 3000 and BDA reached an agreement to correct the policy and communication discrepancy. The company agreed to audit their email communications and inform any affected members of their right to return to work, regardless of any prior separation notice based on game attendance. Our Union will continue to work with the Employer until we fully resolve the issue.

If you have any questions, please reach out to your Union Rep Allison Hanley at (206) 436-6586 or Aaron Bailey at (206) 436-6631.

Kraken Team Store - Grievance Update

/

UFCW 3000 members at the Kraken Team Store reported that they received emails from BDA stating that they are ineligible to return to work if you're unable to commit to working 70% of the upcoming Kraken games or based on low attendance during the Storm season. We have filed a grievance for all affected UFCW 3000 members because we believe any such policy violates your union contract.

If you received a notification from BDA about the new attendance policy and/or that you are not able to return this upcoming season, please report it to your union representatives Allison Hanley at (206) 436-6586 or Aaron Bailey at (206) 436-6631. You have a right to return for the Kraken season regardless of these new attendance expectations.

The orientation is on Monday, September 15 from 6:00 PM - 8:30 PM. Please plan to attend if you are interested in working during the upcoming Kraken season. If you are unable to attend orientation, but you would like to return for the upcoming Kraken season, let BDA know as soon as possible and reach out to your union representative.
