The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) held an open commission meeting today which allowed our members to speak up and share their personal experiences as to why the merger between Albertsons/Vons and Ralph’s is harmful not only to its workers, but customers as well.
Hear from members, Daryll Ortega (Vons 2124) and Lawanna Archer (Vons 1625), as they share their experiences having been through a merger before and how it impacted them in a negative way.
We want to hear from you! Stand with Daryll and Lawanna by sharing your story. Email us at information

Congratulations to all Sweet Flower employees for approving their very first union contract! With just under two years in the making, these workers stood together in solidarity through many obstacles to accomplish this amazing agreement.
This 3 year contract agreement covers over 100 employees with pay increases, vacation, health care cost coverage and holidays!
Once again, congratulations to all employees on this historic accomplishment!
