Contract Talks Open Between Company and Union Bargaining Teams

Fred Meyer and UFCW Local 367 bargaining committees are opening negotiations this week towards new contracts for the Tacoma area associates.

This first session of bargaining is provided time for the Union and Company bargaining committee members to meet and make introductions. Today, the Union bargaining committee gave their opening remarks and presented their non-economic proposals.

What’s New

The bargaining committees are scheduled to meet tomorrow, April 16.

Why it Matters

Bargaining for new contracts is a thoughtful process and can take time. By working together, discussing ideas, and finding areas of compromise, we can reach an agreement that is good for our associates and keeps groceries affordable, too.

Next Steps

We will keep you informed on negotiations with updates from your store leader and postings on store bulletin boards. Updates are also available at FredMeyerSeattleCBA.com.

Please use your store leader as a resource and ask them for answers to your questions.  You can also email your questions to [email protected] — we’ll provide updates in response.

Thank you for your ongoing commitment and service to our customers, our community, and each other.
