On May 15th and May 16th, your Bargaining Committee met with Albertsons representatives for our fifth bargaining session.
The company finally made an economic proposal, but that offer falls short of recognizing you for the contributions you make to the company’s bottom line.
Your committee was, to be frank, appalled by their offer. Year one they offered some employees $1.00, but then only $.50 for the next three years.
The company also wants to short-change future employees by giving them less sick leave and vacation than you get now and your committee believes that you aren’t getting enough. This proposal does not adequately address the rising cost of living and will leave you further behind while the cost of living in Idaho skyrockets.
Your Union Bargaining Committee is leaving the bargaining table feeling disrespected and insulted by what Albertsons offered you for your commitment to the company. We believe your commitment deserves significantly more, and we communicated our disappointment and the need for a much more substantial offer from the company.
You are worth dollars, not cents!
