Retail Union News & Updates
This year, our Union is in negotiations with Hudson News for a new contract. Our member-led bargaining team will be at the bargaining table with management to help fight for better wages, secure scheduling, and other concerns workers raised. To prepare for negotiations, we must be united – ready to fight for and win for a strong contract.
On January 17, we met with REI’s representatives from Morgan Lewis to continue first contract negotiations. Similarly to December’s sessions, we did not reach any new tentative agreements, but we did have productive discussions around in-store issues and identified pathways to agreement on our open Health & Safety, Seniority, Anti-Discrimination, Job Vacancies & Promotions, and Union Representation proposals.
UNION NOTICE: Please be advised that a contract ratification vote has been scheduled as follows:
We met with REI’s attorneys again this week to continue bargaining for a fair first contract for our coworkers. We discussed technology and data, union representation, communication, job vacancies and promotions, and health and safety.
Following yesterday’s court rulings blocking the proposed Kroger and Albertsons mega-merger, we welcome Albertsons’ decision to terminate the merger transaction, meaning there will be no further court appeals seeking to complete the merger. We encourage the leaders of both Kroger and Albertsons to invest resources in their stores by investing in adequate staffing so customers are better served and workers can safely and effectively operate the stores and stock the shelves. These investments will result in higher sales and improved satisfaction by shoppers and employees alike.
“The well-reasoned decisions today by both Courts make plain what union grocery workers have known all along – this mega-merger would be bad for workers who deserve a workplace where they can be paid well for their labor, be safe and be respected. It would be disastrous for shoppers who deserve competition that leads to better choices and lower prices…”
As we navigate these adverse weather effects, please remember there are resources and rights through our union and through our communities that can help.
After months of negotiations, we have reached a fully recommended tentative agreement with Phoenix Games.
