Support Our Community's Safeway and Giant Workers  

NEW ACTION! Send an email to Giant and Safeway Executives to let them know you support Metro DC grocery workers.

Members of the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 400 who work at Safeway and Giant stores throughout the metro Washington area are in a fight for the future of retail jobs. Under increasing pressure from big-box stores and non-union groceries like Harris Teeter, Safeway and Giant are pushing for a contract that rolls back hard-won benefits such as affordable healthcare and pensions. Safeway and Giant grocery workers and their families deserve better.

The current round of negotiations at Safeway and Giant will impact over 15,000 grocery workers in the DC area. It's time to hold the line for good jobs with good benefits. You can take action to support their fight!
