Groundbreaking Progress Won by Member Action
Big news out of UFCW 367’s tenth bargaining session: After late-night negotiations, the UFCW 367’s Pierce County Grocery and Meat Bargaining Team has tentative agreements on significant improvements to hours, scheduling, and workplace safety. These breakthroughs are the direct result of months of action, advocacy, and solidarity from workers and community supporters alike.
✅ No more hour cuts due to new hires
✅ Stronger rights for current employees to receive hours before new hires
✅ NO mandatory self-checkout ratios, 1 member per 10 machines? Not on our watch.
✅ The strongest safety committee language in the region, now store-level staffing concerns must be addressed within 10 days (not quarterly!)
Read the full Staffing & Seniority/Scheduling Tentative Agreement (6.26.25) below 👇
These are major wins, not just for our members, but for the standards we’re setting across the South Sound.
It was bold member action that made this breakthrough possible. From packing the room at Open Bargaining sessions, to gathering signatures for the Workers’ Bill of Rights, to overwhelmingly authorizing an Unfair Labor Practice strike, your dedication and organizing have made all the difference.
Because of these tentative agreements, we are withdrawing our Unfair Labor Practice charges. That means no ULP strike, for now.
But we’re not done yet.
There’s still more to fight for! Let’s stay focused, stay united, and keep the momentum going.

📅 Next Closed Bargaining Session: July 1
Let’s keep showing employers what we’re capable of when we stand together.
I don’t know about the rest of people who work for Kroger or Safeway but I know I am tired of not having the hours that I did and being told things like if you call in sick when you don’t have sick pay you’re gonna get in trouble things like this make workers not wanna come to work We have lost three cashiers in the past couple of weeks because of what we have to go through at the Gig Harbor Fred Meyer.
Personally, I don't have an issue with my hourly wage. As long as I can work at least 32 or more hours each week. If I get less then it's hard to pay bills and buy food. I've had to go to the food bank lately on the weeks that were less than 30 hours. I need 7-8 hours per day, every day that I work.
Then why are my hours still being cut? Why am I being punished when i bust my ass everyday working here and doing my best to encourage others and supporting our community and company? I don't understand and I feel like I have no support team to rely on when this happens.. hopefully things will change and for the better, for all of us who feel unheard, unrecognized and undervalued
Please address wages! We are way too far behind as others have mentioned. With the cost of living through the roof this is my number one concern! Wages, wages, wages!
I just want to say that I am disappointed. As far as new hires go I am sorry to be sounding rude but that was always that journey persons were not supposed to struggle so hard for their hours..When I was a new hire there were times I received 12 - 16 hours a week at the end of the month. 32- 40 at the beginning of the month most time for an average of 20 hours a week. Now I have seen new hires get more than that. Anyways, next thing I is companies bringing in all these vendor products and nobody blocking it for the employees and standing up for them. Just letting the department's go …
