  • We have filed information requests with our health care employers to ensure they are following guidelines to keep members safe at work.

  • We are in discussions with other employers about best practices for public health and workplace safety to ensure all members are safe at work.

  • We are identifying any areas we need to demand to bargain over the impacts of this outbreak, and are making plans for long-term effects of an outbreak in our workplaces.

  • UFCW 21 President Faye Guenther visited members this morning to answer questions and discuss how the coronavirus is impacting workplaces.

Remember: utilize the leave language and health care you’ve bargained for, and contact your Shop Steward or Union Rep for any support you need to stay safe and keep your workplace safe, including if you face any discipline related to the impacts of this outbreak.
