UFCW Local Unions Disappointed by Washington State Supreme Court Ruling to Allow Albertsons Massive $4 Billion Dividend as Part of Proposed Mega Merger

“We are disappointed to see a ruling that favors a small number of ultra-wealthy shareholders over the many thousands of essential workers and millions of Americans who will be left to suffer the consequences of the outright financial looting of Albertsons. Despite this setback that allows the $4 billion dividend to be issued, the delay allowed the United States Senate to scrutinize the dividend payment as well as the mega-merger, and alerted the public to the disastrous consequences if the merger were to go through. We applaud Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson and his staff for their efforts fighting to protect our members and the communities we serve. Our unions will not stop working to protect our members and our communities from the harmful impacts of this proposed mega-merger of Kroger and Albertsons. It is now even more important that the Federal Trade Commission take swift and decisive action to block the acquisition.”

Background:

From the first day the proposed merger was announced, UFCW Local 5, UFCW Local 7, UFCW Local 324, UFCW Local 367, UFCW Local 400, UFCW Local 770, UFCW Local 1442, UFCW Local 3000 and Teamsters 38 have been taking action to intervene and stop this devastating deal. 

On November 1st, Washington state Attorney General Bob Ferguson filed a lawsuit in state court seeking to stop the payout and a temporary restraining order was granted through December 9th.

On Tuesday November 29 the US Senate Judiciary Subcommittee held a hearing to scrutinize the proposed Kroger/Albertsons mega merger, along with an alarming, up to $4 billion “special dividend” announced by Albertsons in connection with the merger agreement. In a letter to the Federal Trade Commission urging the agency to intervene, more than two dozen antitrust experts and local unions representing Albertsons’ workers decried the payout as “nothing less than an out-and-out looting of the company” and a brazen attempt to destabilize the company ahead of regulatory review of the merger. 

On December 9th, the Superior Court Judge in King County Washington ruled against issuing a preliminary injunction, but delayed the effect of the decision until December 19th to allow time for an appeal by the WA AG to be considered by the State Supreme Court. On December 16th, the WA State Supreme Court issued a ruling granting the State AG’s Injunctive Relief and extended the Temporary Restraining Order on the Albertsons dividend until further order of the court.

Senate Hearing on Safe Staffing Law a Huge Success!

Watch UFCW 3000 member Kelli Johnson, Providence Everett ER nurse, speak to state senators about the importance of safe staffing standards.

This week UFCW 3000 members and our allies at SEIU Healthcare 1199NW and WSNA, along with community supporters, made our presence known at the State Capitol during a state senate hearing on Safe Staffing bill SB 5236. Health care workers testified during the committee hearing and met with lawmakers to ensure they know how desperate the staffing crisis is—and how important it is to pass statewide safe staffing standards now.

“Less than one year ago I provided testimony on House Bill 1868 hoping the state would pass a law ensuring nurses and patients have a safe healthcare environment. Instead, staffing got worse,” said UFCW 3000 member and Providence Everett emergency RN Kelli Johnson to the senate committee. “The shortage is not nurses, the shortage is safe work environments. No amount of money can keep nurses repeatedly experiencing moral injury and burnout, two of the top three reasons nurses leave the profession.”

We are not alone: Firefighters, mental health advocates, rare disease patient advocates, and others also testified in support. And more than 2,000 people signed in “Pro” in support of the bill, more than twice as many as those opposed!

Take action to support SB 5236:

Safe Staffing Bill Scheduled for a Hearing

This week the coalition of healthcare workers from UFCW 3000, WSNA, and SEIU 1199NW, relaunched the WA Safe + Healthy campaign and Senate Bill 5236 to pass safe staffing standards to address the worsening hospital staffing crisis.

Please join healthcare workers from across the state for our first hearing in the Senate Labor and Commerce Committee scheduled for:

Tuesday, January 17 @ 10:30AM
Washington State Capitol - Senate Hearing Rm 1
John A. Cherberg Building and Virtual

(John A. Cherberg Building to the Capitol map link HERE)

Even if you are unable to testify in committee due to time constraints or distance, there are several other ways for members of the Senate Labor Committee hear from you about how unsafe staffing levels have impacted you, your patients, colleagues, and communities across the state.

The more healthcare workers and community our elected leaders hear from, the more likely they are to pass this critical legislation! Next week we will be wearing stickers in the worksites to show our support for safe staffing. Your Union Representatives will be in touch and getting those to workplace leaders for distribution.

Questions, or to get involved in helping lead the fight for safe staffing, please reach out to your Union Representative.

Covington Medical Center - United and ready to fight

Covington Medical Center
UNITED AND READY TO FIGHT

Bargaining

We are at a standstill with bargaining. We have proposed all of our noneconomic proposals and sent over our first economic/wage proposals but heard nothing back from Management. It has been over a month since we have seen any substantial proposals or progress from Management, and they have cancelled the last two weeks of bargaining that we scheduled. It is time for Management to get serious, listen to us the workers and come to the table with substantial proposals that will address our issues.

We come to work, day in and day out and work extremely hard to take care of our patients and community. It is time for Management to respect us and take care of us. Please keep an eye out for more information about our next steps. We need to take action and let them know that we are united and ready fight for what we deserve!

Kronos Outage

Last year there was a Kronos outage and Management overpaid many of us and then took money out of our paychecks. Our union in partnership with the other unions sued Multicare and won the lawsuit. However, now MultiCare has rejected the courts ruling and is in the process of appealing the Judges decision. The Three Unions have demanded dates to bargain with Management and continue to work to find a resolution.

Staffing

While we are fighting for strong staffing language at the bargaining table, we also recognize staffing is a huge issue everywhere. Whatever language we win in our new contract will not solve the chronic staffing issues and mismanagement that continues to plague Covington Medical Center, no amount of money could fix that. We need to continue to elevate the pressure by submitting official complaints to state agencies and fight to pass legislation on staffing. Fill out the staffing forms below when you are short-staffed.

• DOSH Complaint

Report safety issues and/or hazardous working conditions directly to the Department of Labor & Industries (L&I):
https://www.lni.wa.gov/workers-rights/workplace-complaints/safety-complaints

• DOH Complaint

Report unsafe staffing directly to the Washington State Department of Health (DOH). We encourage members who file a DOH complaint to also follow-up with a CSI report, ensuring the hospital as a record of the issue:
https://fortress.wa.gov/doh/providercredentialsearch/ComplaintIntakeForm.aspx  

• Collaborative Staffing Intervention (CSI)

Report unsafe staffing and/or missed breaks and lunches:

ALSCO Linen We believe it is time that ALSCO hears our voice!

Alsco Linen

We believe it is time that ALSCO hears our voice!

We have been bargaining with ALSCO Linen since September 2022. During that time, we have won improvements to layoff language, access to new employee orientation, extension to the grievance timeline, and reinstatement of seniority to previously laid off employees during COVID.

We have not been able to reach an agreement on several items including wage increases and benefits. ALSCO continues to propose below market wage increases, passing on health insurance premium costs to workers, and refuses to improve the retirement pension.

We believe it is time that ALSCO hears our voice! We want a safe workplace and want management to show their appreciation for our hard work.

We will be voting on ALSCO’s last proposal on January 17.

We are recommending a “NO” vote.

Tuesday, January 17 from 1pm to 5pm

at 21109 66th Ave S, Kent, WA 98032

Chúng tôi tin rằng đã đến lúc ALSCO lắng nghe tiếng nói của chúng tôi!

Chúng tôi đã thương lượng với ALSCO Linen kể từ tháng 9 năm 2022. Trong thời gian đó, chúng tôi đã có được những cải thiện về việc thông báo sa thải, tiếp cận định hướng nhân viên mới, gia hạn thời gian khiếu nại và phục hồi thâm niên cho những nhân viên đã bị sa thải trước đó trong đại dịch COVID.

Chúng tôi đã không thể đạt được thỏa thuận về việc tăng lương, trợ cấp hưu trí hoặc bảo hiểm y tế. ALSCO tiếp tục đề xuất tăng lương dưới mức thị trường, chuyển phí bảo hiểm y tế cho người lao động và từ chối cải thiện mức lương hưu.

Chúng tôi tin rằng đã đến lúc ALSCO lắng nghe tiếng nói của chúng tôi! Chúng tôi sẽ không chấp nhận các đề xuất về tiền lương, lương hưu hoặc bảo hiểm y tế của họ.

Chúng tôi sẽ bỏ phiếu cho đề xuất cuối cùng của ALSCO vào ngày 17 tháng 1. Chúng tôi đề nghị bỏ phiếu “KHÔNG”.

Thứ ba, ngày 17 tháng 1, từ 1:00 đến 5:00

The fight's not over: We’re heading back to Olympia to address the staffing crisis

We haven’t given up the fight for safer staffing. Last legislative session, we made momentous progress in elevating the staffing recruitment and retention crisis to lawmakers, media, and the public. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to secure safe staffing standards in 2022. But we know the crisis hasn’t gotten better – if anything, it’s gotten worse.

We’re gearing up now to take the fight back to Olympia and do what it takes to make sure healthcare workers have the staffing they need to provide excellent care. We look forward to sharing more policy specifics soon. But we need you to keep fighting, too.

---

Last year’s success was only possible because of activism from healthcare workers like you. Your voices are powerful. They move legislators to act. Help us make the most compelling case to legislators by sharing your personal staffing story!

---

Read what our members have to say about why they’re back in the fight to win safe staffing...

“Nurses and other healthcare workers continue to burn out under the stress of caring for more and more patients. Across the state, we’re seeing long backups in emergency rooms and patients waiting in the ER until there’s a bed and a nurse to take care of them. We’re seeing nurses and other healthcare workers run ragged trying to keep up. That’s why we can’t let up on our fight for safe staffing. We need state-level solutions, which is why we’re headed back to the legislature to win safe staffing in 2023.” -Jacob Garcia, Med-Surg Registered Nurse, Astria Sunnyside

---

“We need to do something now to retain our experienced staff and attract new caregivers to the field. We have lost too many co-workers to burnout already. It’s painful to see just how much short staffing is affecting patient care. I’m encouraging my co-workers and all fellow healthcare workers to speak up so state lawmakers can hear directly from those of us on the front lines. Solving this problem is going to require lawmakers to act in the interest of patients and ensure our communities have access to quality healthcare with safer staffing.” -Iliana Ramirez, Medical Assistant, Lourdes Medical Center

---

“Safe staffing cannot wait. We are going back to the legislature more united than ever for safe staffing standards for all healthcare workers. We’re asking everyone for their support, and to be ready to talk to their legislators, friends, and family. We are moving forward, now join us!” -Ade Adeyemo, Certified Nursing Assistant, UW Medicine - Northwest Hospital

ACME Farms - Bargaining Continues

ACME Farms
Bargaining Continues

• After last week’s snow and ice storms, and the ensuing chaos about working on December 23, 26, and 27, we met with ACME Farms to talk about the pace of negotiations, emergencies like last week, and the upcoming busy season. We clarified that:

• We wanted to pick up the pace of negotiations (while acknowledging scheduling issues on our side of the table) and now have bargaining scheduled on January 9 and 27, and February 3 and 17.

• We wanted good faith negotiations that would bring us a fair contract to vote on, rather than a series of small agreements on issues that were Management’s priority.

• We wanted clear communication about emergency situations as they evolve and other things that are important to us (like our pay).

Management talked about the need for more help during the upcoming business season and to deal with incentives for unscheduled shifts. After our meeting with Management, we talked about how to secure incentive pay for us and to make sure that Management didn’t replace union workers with temporary hires.

We are expecting a full set of counter-proposals when we meet again on Monday, January 9. We will have a full report on negotiations and what our next actions will be at our next Contract Action Team (CAT) meeting that same day.

WhidbeyHealth - We Have Reached a Tentative Agreement!

After months of bargaining over wages, we were able to reach an agreement with WhidbeyHealth management. In the Support Services contract and Pro/Tech/LPN contract, it states under the “Classification and Rates of Pay” article that the Union and Management will reopen the “Classification and Rates of Pay” article and bargain over wage increases for 2022. 

On August 2022, Management implemented a wage increase for some classifications while we were in bargaining. We told Management that the increases were not equitable and they needed to provide additional wage increases to the entire unit. 

After much discussion, we were able to win wage increases for all classifications, eliminate all “zero” steps on the wage scales, and increase some premiums. We will be going back to the bargaining table in 2023 to bargain the full contract and continue fighting for better wages, benefits, and working conditions. 

Our next step will be to vote on the contract! We will be holding an online vote on January 5 from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM for Support Services and January 6 from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM for Pro/Tech/LPN. You must be union member in good standing by the start of the online vote and have an accurate email on file with UFCW 3000. 

If you do not receive communication from UFCW 3000, please update your contact information.

If you are a non-member and wish to vote, please fill out a membership application.

The agreement is fully recommended by your bargaining team!
