LABOR DAY RALLY

Join UFCW Local 135 and the San Diego & Imperial Counties Labor Council for a morning protest rally in support of the essential workers at CVS!

Monday, September 7, 2021 at 10am

CVS Pharmacy at Loma Square
3327 Rosecrans St., San Diego

The members of UFCW Local 135 at CVS Pharmacy have been working with an expired contract since June 30 and have been engaged in negotiations even longer. Though these workers have been essential to the company and community during the pandemic, CVS continues to undervalue their contributions.

The essential workers at CVS are fighting for a new contract that includes:
• Higher wages
• Better staffing
• Improved safety standards
• Better store and worker security and
• Fair and affordable family healthcare

Please stand with them as they continue to service their communities during the pandemic!

Organized by UFCW Local 135 and the San Diego & Imperial Counties Labor Council.

Protest Rally in Support of Fired Nonunion CVS Worker
2021-08-04 13:00 - 15:00 | CVS Pharmacy, 683 Lomas Santa Fe, Solana Beach, CA, 92075
Maria “Betty” Rodriguez was fired recently from her job at a nonunion CVS Pharmacy in Imperial Beach. Betty was terminated after helping to organize her co-workers into joining UFCW. Betty feels she was unjustly fired and UFCW agrees and filed board charges with the National Labor Relations Board against CVS. Betty and her co-workers signed enough union cards at her former location to force an election. UFCW Local 135 filed the cards with the NLRB on July 14, and she was fired on July 28. The union certification vote is scheduled to take place on August 13.
UFCW Local 135 – with help from our allies in labor and the community – will be holding a protest rally at CVS Pharmacy at 800 Palm Avenue in Imperial Beach next Wednesday, August 4 from 1-3pm.
We demand the immediate cessation of all anti-union activities by CVS Pharmacy!
Unjust firings must not stand! Workers have a right to organize!
Join us on Wednesday, August 4 as we call attention to the shameless, retaliatory, union busting activities of this multi-billion-dollar corporation!

F4L Protest Rally Escondido
2021-05-28 12:00 - 14:00 | Food 4 Less, 644 N Broadway, Escondido, CA
With contract talks at a stand still and no new negotiation dates scheduled, UFCW Local 135 and the rest of the Southern California UFCW Locals are organizing more actions outside Food 4 Less stores.

We will be holding two protest rallies next week in San Diego County. One in Mission Valley and the other in Escondido.

On Tuesday, May 25 from 3-5pm we’ll be at Food 4 Less at Hazard Center in Mission Valley and then on Friday, May 28 from 12-2pm we’ll be at Food 4 Less on N Broadway in Escondido.

We’re calling on all of our sisters and brothers in labor, our friends that hold elected office, our allies in the community, and our members from other Local 135 bargaining units to join the workers at Food 4 Less for these two actions.

We will be picketing and holding a rally in the parking lots of both locations calling on the public to support these essential workers.

Join us in our just demands for a better contract and help us Fight4More!

F4L Protest Rally Mission Valley
2021-05-25 15:00 - 17:00 | Food 4 Less, 644 N Broadway, Escondido, CA

F4L Rally and Protest
2021-05-06 11:00 - 15:00 | Food 4 Less, 644 N Broadway, Escondido, CA
Please join UFCW Local 135 members from Food4Less and other bargaining units, our allies in labor, elected officials, union retirees, and friends from the community as we rally and protest for a fair contract at Food4Less 780 in Chula Vista.
The union contract for workers at Food 4 Less expired in March after the previous contract was extended one year due to COVID-19. These workers have been essential throughout the pandemic yet their company does not want to provide essential wages. Kroger, the parent company of F4L, has made record profits during the pandemic and spent $1.3 billion on stock buybacks!
Please support these essential workers by attending this demonstration and not patronizing Food 4 Less locations until a new contract is ratified. And, in the event of a strike, help us by not crossing any picket lines.Your solidarity is appreciated!
“Food4Less workers are essential to their company and community and they have been ravaged by COVID-19,” says Todd Walters, President of UFCW Local 135. “Kroger (Food4Less) made millions during the pandemic and now they refuse to give their workers a fair contract. We are calling on all of our allies to support this action!”
Rally speakers include UFCW Local 135 President Todd Walters, Brigette Browning, the newly elected Executive Secretary-Treasurer of San Diego & Imperial Counties Labor Council, a worker from Food4Less, and others TBD.
