UFCW 400 Pushes for “Best Deal” at Giant & Safeway

With contract expiration just weeks away, UFCW Local 400 negotiators are taking a deliberative approach to their talks with Giant and Safeway. “Our goal is to reach the best deal possible, not to rush to finish and end up with a bad agreement,” the local reported earlier this week. The meetings so far have focused on securing retirement for members, “but we also exchanged initial proposals and began discussing other issues we need addressed in order to secure fair wages, affordable healthcare, and adequate staffing.” Meanwhile, members continue to drum up customer support in the stores, and the local has delivered more than 4,000 cards signed by customers to managers at 52 Giant and Safeway stores. Giant and Safeway workers are also featured in Local 400’s latest commercial (right).​
