Roger Lee “Bend is known to be 'poverty with a view.' We deserve a decent living wage so we can afford to live here. We just want to be treated fairly. Sign us a fair contract!"

~Roger Lee • Fred Meyer
Tracy Ward “It's been seven years since I've had a raise! Fred Meyer continues to have record-breaking profits. We deserve a fair contract."

~Tracy Ward • Fred Meyer
Alan Hunt “Fred Meyer workers deserve no less than what we got at Safeway and Albertsons. Affordable healthcare and living wages keep our community strong. If we can stand together, we can send a strong message to Fred Meyer to do the right thing."

~Alan Hunt • Safeway
Rose Bayse “I’ve been a union member for 17 years. I believe the only way to guarantee what we already have (in writing) and improve upon it is by standing together. Our union gives us a voice in our wages and working conditions.”

~Rose Bayse • Fred Meyer, ALE

We Are Standing Strong!

Non-Food workers continue to stand united at the bargaining table. Following on the heels of bargaining sessions in Longview and Portland, over 20 members of the bargaining team from around the jurisdiction converged in Coos Bay on August 24, 2010 to demand a fair contract for all non-food members in Oregon and Southwest Washington.

It came as no surprise when yet again the employer’s proposal fell short of making a real commitment to closing the wage gap between non-food and grocery/meat/CCK.

Your bargaining team is standing firm and we will continue to demand what you and your coworkers deserve: a living wage, affordable healthcare, and a secure retirement.

Equality - Just Not For Non-Foods?

Once again Fred Meyer has attached a notice to payroll checks and for some reason they continue to forget about The Dalles non-food workers. As the “only unionized [non-food] retailer in Oregon.” Fred Meyer acknowledges that you are union workers. Unfortunately, doing the same work doesn’t earn you the same pay nor the same benefi ts. It’s time Fred Meyer steps up and offers a fair contract to ALL non-food workers, regardless of what city you work in!

Unity Exemplified

UFCW Local 555 members led by President Dan Clay and Secretary-Treasurer Jeff Anderson were joined by UFCW Local 21 members, community activist, and concerned customers in The Dalles, Oregon on Saturday, August 14, 2010 to send Fred Meyer a single message - “Shame on you Fred Meyer! The Dalles non-food workers have been fighting for 1003 days to get what every other UFCW Local 555 represented non-food worker has in the states of Oregon and Washington... a secure union pension, a living wage, and a union health plan!”

The message to the members in the store was one of solidarity and support. We will continue to take any and all necessary steps to settle a fair contract. The Dalles members have a right to expect a secure retirement rather than gamble on employer provided 401(k), and the right to affordable family healthcare!

Return To The Dalles - Join Us!

In 2007, the non-food workers at The Dalles Fred Meyer voted overwhelmingly to join UFCW Local 555. Unfortunately for these members, Fred Meyer wants to treat them differently than the rest of the UFCW members in the store. It's time for Fred Meyer to RESPECT its employees and settle a fair contract now!

Join us tomorrow in The Dalles for a "Return To The Dalles Event" ... You won't want to miss this!
