After three days of bargaining this week, we are no closer to an agreement with Rite Aid. The company continues to push insulting proposals that take away our hard-earned benefits and inadequately compensate us for the hard work we perform. We deserve fair wages, more flexible scheduling and the vacation and sick time that we’ve earned.
We have agreed to another contract extension until October 21 at 5PM and new negotiation dates of October 14 and 21.
We are stepping up pressure on the company and will discuss taking a strike vote with Rite Aid members on October 3 at 8am and 6pm on Zoom. Join one of these important meetings to ensure you know your rights and next steps to ensure a fair contract.
Throughout all of this, we must remain united and strong. Rite Aid might try to divide us and convince us that their offer is adequate in light of the management-created bankruptcy. We know that is false. Rite Aid must respect the hard work you do in the stores every day.
As always, if you have any questions about bargaining or if there is anything we can help you with, please do not hesitate to reach out to your Union Rep.
