We fight to protect our values

The contract we negotiate is more than just a document that protects our members. It’s an expression of the values of our union. We work hard everyday to fight for, advance, and protect our values.

FAMILY-SUSTAINING WAGES

Work should provide wage increases that make ends meet and allow us to provide for and enjoy our families and lives - without having to work multiple jobs.

MORE, FLEXIBLE HOURS

Scheduling should provide both the hours we need to support our families with one job, the flexibility to enjoy and take care of our families, and also accommodate the other priorities in our lives.

HEALTH AND RETIREMENT SECURITY

All employees should have benefits that allow us security in our health and dignity in our retirement. We fought hard for ours, and will fight hard to maintain them.

JOB SECURITY IN CHANGING TIMES

We understand better than management what consumers want and what works on the floor - and by applying that knowledge we can help shape the grocery jobs of the future in partnership with technology rather than servants of it.

DEMOCRACY IN OUR WORKPLACE

We are partners in the success of our business, not tools to be moved and discarded. Our unity gives us a voice and vote in both the workplace and our union.

BETTER NEIGHBORHOOD GROCERY STORES

Grocery stores are part of the shared public space, and we commit ourselves to creating and preserving strong, resilient communities through our participation and advocacy for access to quality grocery stores.
