Attention Fairway Members...
In an effort to negotiate a new contract for
the members working for Fairway Markets we have met with the Company 3
times since November 14th, 2017. Unfortunately, we must report that
very little progress has been made thus far. Although we understand the
difficulty that both competition and the pending minimum wage increases
present for them we had hoped for significantly more progress and
cooperation. We agreed to start negotiations much earlier
than normal this time, hoping to bring you all a new contract to vote
on before the end of 2017. That is clearly not going to happen, and we
have decided to cancel the remaining scheduled bargaining sessions for
this year. We will resume negotiations sometime in mid to late January
2018. Your Union Representatives will be out in the stores to meet with
all of you and discuss the specific issues and the process further over
the next few weeks. As always, we appreciate the strong support the
Fairway membership has shown for its negotiating committee and we remain
hopeful that we can bring you a final settlement that you can vote on
before your current contract expires on April 1st, 2018. Have a great
Holiday season.
