UFCW returned to the bargaining table on July 13 to fight for a new contract for Albertsons, Vons, and Ralphs pharmacists. Though bargaining continues, progress has been slow, and action must be taken to push negotiations forward. Our pharmacists have worked valiantly through the pandemic and have earned the right to higher wages and better working conditions.
A strike vote of all eligible UFCW pharmacists from Albertsons, Vons, and Ralphs will take place online, via text or email, July 18-20 through Election Buddy. Voting opens at 8am on July 18 and closes July 20 at 4pm with results to be announced shortly after.
If you do not receive your pharmacy ballot by 8:30am on July 18, call Communications Director Brent Beltran at 619.866.8595. He will help remedy the situation.

Strike authority has been given by UFCW members at Ralphs, Albertsons, and Vons locations from throughout Southern California. And preparations are being made.
Part of that preparation is the need to manufacture thousands of picket signs. We have the sticks, printed signs, and ULP/company stickers. And we need members to volunteer to tape, stick, and staple them all together.
Are you UNITED and READY to help out?
If so, join your fellow essential workers on Wednesday, March 30 from 1pm until 5pm at our Mission Valley Union Hall to help make picket signs for a possible Unfair Labor Practice strike.
Free union t-shirt for all volunteers and the UFCW Local 135 Retirees Club will grill burgers and dogs towards the end of the event.
The media has been invited to shoot video/photos and interview willing members.
Contact your Union Rep if you have any questions.
