Oregon Members Ask Employers to "Share the Success"

Members of Local 555 are continuing negotiations with their employers in Eugene, and are standing strong to send their employers a message.  Members know that these same companies agreed to quality, affordable health care in Southern California and Puget Sound--what makes Eugene employees so different?

UFCW members simply want a preventative health care plan that they can afford--one that will end up saving them AND their employers' money.  But their employers seem to think that UFCW members aren't worth that kind of plan. 

Local 555 members work hard for their stores, and have helped them become some of the most successful in the industry.  All they're asking for is those employers to share the success with them.  And to show that they're standing together in solidarity with other members and with the community behind them, Local 555 members have authorized a strike if necessary.

The negotiations are set for the 19th and 20th.
