VICTORY: We’ve Reached a Tentative Agreement on our Gelson’s Contract!
Agreement delivers higher wages for ALL, and improvements in pension, healthcare, and staffing
We’re excited to announce that after today’s bargaining session, we reached a tentative agreement with Gelson's!
This new three-year contract delivers higher wages for ALL of us, including those at the top rate and those in the progression steps. We also won improvements to our pension, healthcare, staffing, and more that we deserve. But nothing is final until we all have the chance to review the details and cast our vote.
This victory was only possible because of our hard work and solidarity with our co-workers, our customers, and our union siblings at Ralphs, Vons, Albertsons, Pavilions, and Stater Bros. Every pledge card and petition we signed, button we wore, social media post we shared, delegation we joined, customer we engaged, and action we attended helped get us to this point. Our victory sends a powerful message to workers everywhere – when we band together in solidarity, we win.
Our fight isn’t over though. Our fellow members at El Super are also still without contracts, and our pharmacist siblings at Ralphs, Albertsons, Vons and Pavilions are gearing up for their contract fight next year. Their support helped us get this win, it’s our turn to support them now.
Remember, this is a tentative agreement. It’s not final until you vote to accept it.
More info about voting times and locations will be coming soon, so please look out for updates.
