STOP & SHOP NEGOTIATIONS UPDATE

Your Union Negotiating Committee is happy to announce that this afternoon we reached a tentative agreement!  

Bargaining contracts always proves to be challenging.  This was our first-ever set of negotiations that were held virtually, and we were faced with the additional challenges of negotiating from a distance. 

Although via Zoom, Your Stop & Shop negotiating committee showed up ready to succeed and indicated to the Company that they meant business from the onset.  We are pleased to report that the rank and file Negotiating Committee members unanimously recommend this settlement.

Contract Voting will be held Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of next week at 14 Stop & Shop stores.

Follow us on Social Media for more detailed information on voting.

STAY STRONG!  STAY SAFE!

-Your Local 1500 Stop & Shop Negotiating Committee

Today is a day that came too early.

Today is a day that we weren’t ready for.

Today is the day everything feels different.

Today is the day we bury our brother. 

Today is the day we bury our friend. 

Today is the day we bury a warrior. 

Today is a day we bury a leader.

Today is a day we must never forget.

Today is a day that we wish him eternal peace.

Today is the day we reflect on his words.

Today is a day we honor his memory.

Today is the day we pray for his family.

 

 

Rest in Peace Brother Richard Abondolo

SHOPRITE ALERT: HAZARD PAY SETTLEMENT REACHED

ATTENTION ALL LOCAL 1500 MEMBERS WORKING AT SHOPRITE

***HAZARD PAY SETTLEMENT REACHED***

For many weeks Local 1500, along with a coalition of UFCW/RWDSU Locals, have been negotiating with ShopRite to reinstate Hazard Pay.  Especially for those members who worked the stores throughout the toughest months of the pandemic.  Today, we are happy to announce that a settlement has been reached with the Company. 

ShopRite has agreed to pay a lump sum equal to $1.00 per hour for all hours worked during the period from July 26th, 2020 through August 22nd, 2020.  This payout will occur during week ending December 12th, 2020 to any Local 1500 member still on the payroll as of December 5th, 2020.

While this was not an easy task, we are happy that we were able to accomplish what we did.  Getting additional recognition for the hardworking men and women of all the ShopRite companies that we represent was paramount for us.

Again, we thank you and all members of Local 1500 for the incredible and tireless dedication you have exhibited to your communities during this difficult time, and we will continue to fight for you!
