Macy’s Unfair Labor Practice ULP Strike Update

We will begin our 3-day ULP strike on Friday 11/24 at 3am.We intend to give Macy’s notice of our unconditional return to work beginning at 3am on Monday 11/27. The strike will be focused on all the union Macy's Mall stores, Southcenter Mall, Alderwood Mall and Bellis Fair Mall in Bellingham. We will not be striking the Furniture Galleries. If you are a Furniture Gallery worker, go to work as usual and before or after your shift or on your day off come support your fellow Macy's worker on the strike line at one of the mall locations.

For Mall workers, come to the strike line during the times you would have normally been working. If Friday, Saturday or Sunday would have been your day off, you may participate in the strike at any time during normal Macy’s business hours. Holidays hires that work in the Mall Stores have protection under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) to participate in collective action such as striking. Any Holiday hires who participate in the strike will qualify for the same strike benefit as all other Macy’s workers who are covered under our agreement and participate in the strike.

Check in with the picket captain on shift when you arrive to sign in and be sure to sign out when you leave. This will ensure you get credit for hours on the strike line to qualify for your Strike Benefit. You may walk the line as many hours as you want, but strike benefits are capped at $500 for a minimum 20 hours on the line per week or at $300 for a minimum of 12 hours on the line for the duration of our ULP strike.
