UFCW 21 - A Voice for Working America

Grocery Store Workers Bargaining
Worth Fighting For

At the May 22 negotiations our union member bargaining team laid out our full set of proposals around wages, health care and pension – our proposals reward our hard work and loyalty. But so far employers are rejecting our proposals. We need to stand together and fight to improve our jobs.
Read more about our proposals and bargaining.

Mary Bridge RNs
Joined by Community and Fellow Union Members,
Take to Streets to Defend Their Health Care

On the late afternoon and early evening of May 2, a crowd of Mary Bridge RNs and others took to the sidewalks around the new wing at MultiCare in Tacoma. The main message: We provide care for patients every day and help make MultiCare successful – we should be respected. Unfortunately, instead of respect, MultiCare continues to propose to cut Mary Bridge RN health care coverage and retirement benefits.
