*72 Hour Notice Served. 16
days of nonstop talks and not enough
money to fund healthcare. We
continue to negotiate and want to
reach a fair deal.* |
|
|
09/13
*The
Federal Mediator has a family emergency and has recessed
negotiations for 48 hours. Management still
refuses to fund your health benefits.* |
|
|
09/05 *Negotiations are ongoing. Management
REFUSES to fund your health benefits plan and REFUSES to
give a wage proposal. Time is Running Out! We are
getting close to giving management a 72-hour notice.* |
|
|
09/02
*Negotiations are ongoing and will
continue through the holiday
weekend. Major issues, including
health care still not resolved. Stay
Strong!* |
|
|
08/31 *Negotiations resumed August 29th and
continues day to day. Nothing has been agreed to.
Ignore rumors. For accurate information contact your
Union Representative.* |
|
|
08/22 *The
final strike authorization vote count was over 90%
throughout Southern California. The Federal Mediator has
called both parties back into negotiations on Monday
August 29. Our members have given their Employers a
mandate. We will not accept anymore stalling by
Management. It's now plain and simple. We will have a
deal or a strike in a short period of time. |
|
|
|
|
|
08/21 *Update:
More than 90% of Southern California Grocery Workers
voted NO on Managements latest contract proposal. The
vote also authorizes a strike when deemed necessary. The
Federal Mediator is being contacted with those results.
We will update you as soon as additional information is
available. Stay Strong, Stay United!! |
|
|
08/17 *Management's Health Care proposal still
lacks adequate funding and will destroy your health
benefits. Attend Vote meeting at the Scottish Rite
Center in Mission Valley on Friday, August 19th and vote
NO. We need to send
a strong message to these profitable employers.* |
|
|
08/12 *Negotiations
will resume on Monday, August 15th.
Vote meetings are scheduled for
Friday, August 19th. We are
committed to protecting the health
benefits of our members and
retirees.* |

*Southern California Grocery
Workers Plan Another Strike Vote* |
|

|
|
|
|
07/11 *With
several issues still outstanding in negotiations such as
Wages, Working Condtions and Health Benefits, the local
unions are, and have been committed to, working 24/7 to
try and resolve this contract once and for all. However,
Management seems to have other priorities. They continue
to only be available 2-3 days a week to meet. You would
think that their hard working employees' welfare would
be important to them.*
|
|
|
07/08 *Negotiations
are ongoing. We continue to have the same disparity in
our health benefits proposals. We will not devastate the
health benefits which are important to our members and
their families. We are also discussing other important
issues regarding the working conditions of our members.* |

Negotiations Update: June 10,
2011 *After
months of negotiations the parties finally made some
progress as management and your Union reached a
tentative agreement to secure the integrity of our
members’ pension. However, management has NOT changed
their proposal on the table, which would devastate our
members health benefits. It is critical that you stand
united in defending your health care, wages, and working
conditions.* |
