ATTENTION STOP & SHOP MEMBERS

Attention Local 1500 members working in Stop & Shop:

 

Local 1500 along with other UFCW Locals in Region 1 have been able to negotiate an additional payment for your hazard pay with Stop & Shop.

 

There is a one-time payment of:

$300 for Full-Timers and $150 for Part-Timers.

Payouts are scheduled to be distributed on February 4th, 2021. 

 

We believe our members deserve more than what the Company has agreed to pay out at this time, and Local 1500 will continue to push for hazard pay until the virus is no longer a threat for our members.

 

Thank you for being a member of our Union and remember Local 1500 will never stop fighting on your behalf.

Stay safe, stay strong & stay United.
