Grocery Store Bargain: Telephone Town Halls Connect With Thousands of Members

2019 0227 - Update Logo.jpg

If you weren’t able to join the Telephone Town Hall on Tuesday 3.12.19 about the Grocery Store Workers Contract Negotiations, you can listen to the recording of the live call to find out about what happened the 1st day of bargaining, what’s happening around the country with other UFCW grocery store negotiations, and hear about Secure Scheduling effort and much more. The call was a live call with members asking their questions and getting immediate answers.

2019 Grocery Store Workers' Contract Negotiations Have Begun

UNITED better jobs better lives graphic.jpg

Yesterday, our union member bargaining team met with the employers’ representatives for the first time in our 2019 contract negotiations. We were able to present a series of what are called non-economic proposals to the employers and they will now have the opportunity to review them, respond to our initial proposals and also present theirs to our team at following sessions. Our set of proposals are grounded in the feedback we received from a record number of member surveys. We discussed secure scheduling with more advanced notice and control, short staffing, getting more training, workplace safety, and proposals to make our union stronger.

Grocery Store Member Bargaining Team Meets

Contract Negotiations to Begin on March 12th

Our Union member bargaining team gathered this week to make final preparations for the 1st bargaining session with our employers in the upcoming contract negotiations that will begin in March.  These negotiations are our opportunity to improve and protect our wages, benefits and working conditions. Work over many months, meetings with members, getting a record number of member surveys, and holding a great kick off with leaders from stores across the region have all helped to pull together a strong bargaining team and to prepare a series of our initial proposals to improve our jobs in our union grocery stores. UFCW 21 and Teamsters 38 will be negotiating together again this year. The bargaining team is made up of members from across the region and from all banners, as well as a diverse representation of various departments, experience levels, and each of the contracts that will be renegotiated.

Actions:

You are all invited to join a live Telephone Town Hall on the evening of March 12th and we will relay what happened on the first day of bargaining and answer member questions. You will receive a phone call in advance with details.
