A Voice For Working America
Tigard, Oregon – After thousands of Fred Meyer grocery and meat department workers held an Unfair Labor Practice (ULP) strike, they returned to work as of 8:00 AM on Tuesday, September 3. UFCW 555 is now calling on the community to support workers by not shopping at Fred Meyer until a fair agreement is reached and Fred Meyer’s admitted price gouging has stopped.
On August 29 and August 30, your Bargaining Committee met with representatives from Kroger, Fred Meyer and QFC for our 6th bargaining session. Our Union and the employer originally had two dates scheduled, but ended up bargaining through the night August 30 and into August 31.
On Monday, August 26 and Wednesday, August 28, your Bargaining Committee met with representatives from Safeway / Albertsons to continue bargaining for our new Union contracts throughout our Union’s area in Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Wyoming in conjunction with UFCW 1496 in Alaska. Our Union and the employer had productive conversations and reached a tentative agreement to update our contract
