Retail Unity Negotiations Update (1/15/2016)
Negotiations have concluded for the day between your Retail Unity
Negotiations Committee and your boss’s bosses for the Grocery, Meat,
CCK, and Non-Food contracts. The next negotiation dates are set for
January 26th and 27th, two weeks from now.
Your Negotiating Committee has been successful in getting your boss’s
bosses to pull some of the negative contract proposes they originally put
forth. We hope the employers will make the necessary movement to
begin economic discussions at the next meeting.
We have finally received the requested information around drug testing
language and will be researching the outcomes before negotiations
resume on the 26th.
Your Retail Unity Negotiations Committee is still working towards
the goals originally set. Those goals are to obtain wage increases,
protect healthcare benefits, strengthen pension benefits, improve
scheduling practices, secure and improve sick pay benefits and
standardize where possible contract language throughout the
jurisdiction.
The committee would like to thank you for your support in these
ongoing negotiations. Your committee continues to stand strong at the
table in order to deliver you a solid contract.
