On Monday, February 10, and Tuesday, February 11, your Bargaining Committee began bargaining your Union contracts throughout our Union’s jurisdiction in Idaho, Wyoming, and Ontario, Oregon. Representatives from Albertsons received our initial bargaining proposals.
With your Bargaining Committee’s focus on disparities between different contracts within our area, we presented the employer with proposals to address the following topics:
- Combining Agreements
- Seniority Rights
- Scheduling Practices
- Contract Language Cleanup
We’ve reached a tentative agreement on the Preamble to our contract, which sets the tone for everything that follows.
Representatives for your employer did not put any proposals across the table in the first session.
Your Bargaining Committee is committed to negotiating a contract that honors the dignity of the work you do and values your contribution to the company.
Our next bargaining sessions are scheduled February 17 through February 21. We will update you after the completion of our next bargaining session.
