Franz Outlet Stores - Tentative Agreement Reached—Vote Scheduled!

After months of negotiations, including three Union’s unanimously voting to authorize a strike—UFCW 3000, 367 and Teamsters 38—we have reached a tentative agreement on a new collective bargaining agreement with Franz!

Our new contract includes significant increases in our wages as well as over a 20% increase in our pension contributions by the end of the contract. More details will be shared in the coming days as Union Representative Tae Abraham reaches out ahead of the vote.

Everyone will also be provided with a document outlining all the changes as well as a full copy of the proposed contract while voting on Tuesday, May 14.
