February bargaining update: what you need to know

We’ve now concluded five rounds of bargaining with your union, UFCW 401.

During this session, we exchanged and reviewed proposals related to scheduling.

Although some progress has been made, some areas will require deeper discussions to close the gap on our differences.

Through this all, we want to assure you that we remain committed to furthering negotiations in good faith, with the goal of reaching a fair, market-competitive deal that supports both teammates and the company.

We’ll meet with your union again from April 14 – 16 to continue productive dialogue. We’ll keep you informed on next steps.

If you have any questions in the meantime, we encourage you to speak with your Store Manager.
