Gelson’s Bargaining starts TOMORROW!
Gelson’s members are coming to the table to get the contract we deserve
Last week, Ralphs, Vons, Albertsons, and Pavilions members ratified a historic contract that included:
Substantial wage increases
A new supplemental pension plan to help workers in their retirement
Increased healthcare benefit contributions and faster healthcare eligibility for new hires
Staffing language that requires reasonable staffing levels that address efficient operation of the store, the health and safety of employees, and the quality of customer service
Now it’s our turn to fight for the living wages, affordable healthcare benefits, reliable pension, and better staffing and working conditions that we deserve.
How Bargaining Will Work
Our first bargaining session with Gelson’s is tomorrow, July 15th. The worker bargaining committee and leaders from UFCW Locals that represent Gelson’s workers will work to get a tentative agreement that reflects your values and priorities.
At the conclusion of tomorrow’s session, we’ll send you an update on what happened at the table and our next steps.
This is our union, and it is only as powerful as we make it. If you have any questions about bargaining or if there is anything else we can do to support you, please do not hesitate to reach out to your Bargaining Committee Members, Union Representatives or Stewards.
