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.
