Setting Our Monetary Agenda
After bargaining hard for nine days, which stretched through last weekend, your Committee made a significant move today and tabled our full monetary package to Sobeys.
This monetary package reflects the hard work that you do in your stores every day. We received thousands of responses from Sobeys members in the bargaining surveys we sent out. Overwhelmingly, the top priorities are wage improvements, so we’re setting a strong and clear agenda for our monetary conversations.
As your Bargaining Committee, we are deeply committed to doing whatever we need to get a fair deal with Sobeys. We need your unequivocal support to get the job done.
Are you a Safeway employee or a FreshCo Pharmacy member in BC? Will you show solidarity with the Bargaining Committee today by clicking on the link below? We know that UFCW 1518 members are not interested in a long, drawn-out negotiation process, and we need you to help us send that message to Sobeys.
As always, if you know of coworkers who aren’t receiving our communications, please have them reach out to us with their full name, workplace name, employee ID, email address, and cell phone number to reception@ufcw1518.com or phone 1-800-661-3708.
