Upcoming Bargaining Dates with Fred Meyer & QFC

We have always been clear that we are bargaining for everyone. Your employer however, despite past practice, is only bargaining for Portland and Bend.

If Kroger refuses to bargain over all of our areas at one formal bargaining table as we have done for years, then we must bring bargaining to every area within our Union’s jurisdiction, and have offered dates for bargaining where contracts are soon expiring.

We will negotiate in Eugene, Salem, Grants Pass, Vancouver, Longview, Medford, Coos Bay, Klamath Falls, Bend and every other city and town in Oregon and Washington that has a separate Collective Bargaining Agreement as they open. 

The employers will have to meet the members we represent where they live, and hear their unique problems and proposals. 

Make no mistake, we are determined to reach agreements that work for all of our members working at Fred Meyer and QFC within our whole jurisdiction. We will not allow your Employer to short change a single member, no matter what they do in the store or where they live.
