VICTORY: We’ve Reached a Tentative Agreement on our Stater Bros. Contract!

Agreement includes higher wages, better retirement benefits, healthcare improvements, staffing, safety and more

After more than five months of relentless hard work, determination, and unprecedented participation, we’re excited to announce that we have reached a tentative agreement with Stater Bros.! From boycotts, rallies, marches, petitions, and wearing buttons to one-on-one conversations with our coworkers and customers, we stayed strong.

Following an intense two-day session that began on Tuesday morning, we’ve secured an agreement that addresses our priorities, which we want to share with you. It includes higher wages, improved pensions, better and faster access to healthcare, staffing, safety and more that we’ve earned and deserve. But remember – nothing is final until we all have the chance to review the details and cast our vote.

This victory wouldn’t have been possible without the power of our collective action. Together, we stood up to the company’s disrespect and made it clear that we are a strong union family, united in solidarity to fight for the contract we deserve. 

Next Steps

Remember, this is a tentative agreement. It is not final until you vote to accept it.

You will have the opportunity to review the deal and have your questions addressed before casting your vote. We will be scheduling vote days, times, and locations and informational webinars shortly, so please look out for updates from your local union. 

If you have any questions, reach out to your Bargaining Committee Member, Steward, or Union Representative. 

In Solidarity,
