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.

Let’s keep showing employers what we’re capable of when we stand together.
