UFCW Members
Nationwide Show Support for Local 400 and 27 Members
UFCW members of Locals 400 and 27 are standing together for a fair
contract--and UFCW members nationwide are standing with them.
Members last week wore stickers to show their support for locals,
who are currently bargaining with Giant and Safeway. Their
employers have so far been unwilling to agree to a fair contract for
their workers, one that shares the success with those employees that
made it possible.
Members are signing pledges to fight for a fair contract with wages
that pay the bills and affordable health care. Their pledge also
includes signing up to pass out info to consumers outside their
stores, with info about the negotiations and a request that shoppers
support them with their shopping dollars if the company won't settle
a fair contract.
In addition, UFCW members will be asking for support from members
and supporters nationwide, in telling the companies that they need
to offer Baltimore/DC workers a fair contract now.
