Rite Aid’s Offer Is Still Not Enough
We’ve met with Rite Aid for two more days this week, and while the company has made some movement in wages, it’s not enough to account for inflation and the high cost of living in Southern California.
We have agreed to sign an additional contract extension through September 27, 2024, and we have more negotiation sessions scheduled for September 9, 19, 25, 26 and 27. But the reality is we’re still far apart on a contract.
It’s clear that Rite Aid needs to get serious about negotiating a fair contract that reflects our work and the value we bring to Rite Aid and our customers.
Union Reps are circulating a petition demanding a fair contract that respects our essential work, reflects our vital healthcare role and provides the staffing and store safety required to improve customers’ shopping experience. If you haven’t already, make sure you sign and make your voice heard!
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.
In solidarity,
Your UFCW Rite Aid Bargaining Committee
