King Kullen Settlement Reached!!
Good morning! We are pleased to announce that last night the King
Kullen negotiating team reached a tentative settlement with the company.
After many weeks of difficult negotiations, your negotiating committee
unanimously recommended a new contract that will secure wages and
benefits for the next five years! It was an extremely tough road given
the challenges that negotiators are facing with Minimum Wage on the rise
and the cost of maintaining your current level of Pension and Welfare
benefits. Your King Kullen committee fought through it all and stood
firm on their belief that any reductions in your pension and/or welfare
plans were completely unacceptable. Your committee, Kelly Johnson
(store #16), Jean Picard (store #46), Cindy Williams (store #55), George
Romahn (store #51), and Danny Gleason (store #1) should be commended
for sitting across from the company and holding the line during such
difficult negotiations. It was not an easy task by any stretch of the
imagination. Voting on this agreement is being scheduled to take place
within the next two weeks and as always you will have an opportunity to
read through the settlement and ask questions prior to voting. Look out
in your stores and on social media for voting notices and
announcements. Once again, thank you to the entire committee on a job
well done! #OurUnionHasValue
Thank you for your membership and your continued support.
Your UFCW Local 1500 negotiating team
