Salem Updates

The situation across the country is tough. Many people are struggling. The cost of food, health care, and necessities continue to rise (not to mention the cost of gas just to get to work.) These issues require attention and UFCW Local 555 is devoted to fighting for the membership to ensure they are taken care of. Please follow these negotiations. Pass the information along and support each other.

Fair Contract Now!

For more than a year our bargaining team from Albany, Corvallis, and Salem have been pushing Fred Meyer/Kroger at the bargaining table to secure a better future.

  • We are taking the first steps to closing the wage gap between Salem-area and Portland
  • We have strengthened our bargaining power by including over 40 members from around the state
  • Faith and Labor Leaders are rallying behind their local Fred Meyer workers as we fight for a fair contract

Now is the time to stay together and stay strong. Albany, Corvallis, and Salem can achieve the most when we are UNITED!!!!!

Rally In Salem For A Fair Contract

We are here today to share with the community that we are frustrated with Fred Meyer at the bargaining table. We want to work happily with Fred Meyer to make Fred Meyer / Kroger Co. successful and to continue to promote our communities’ prosperity.

However, we don’t have a fair contract today. We are fighting for Affordable Healthcare, Living Wages, and a Secure Retirement.

Our counterparts in the Portland Area grocery, meat, and checkouts at Fred Meyer recently got a fair contract that allows for these same things, but because we live in the Albany/Corvallis/Salem Area Fred Meyer believes we deserve less.

We are asking for your support today... Will you help us let Fred Meyer know that a fair contract is good for our community?

Frequently Asked Questions Regarding The Recent 14 Day Notice

Do you have questions about the 14 Day notice?  The information below should help.

Q: What is the 14 day notice?
A: Our contract has been on an extension for 11 months in Salem. Unfortunately, Fred Meyer has consistently chosen to be disrespectful to their union represented employees by not settling a contract for the non-food members throughout Oregon and Washington. Fred Meyer members around the jurisdiction are pushing back and taking a stand for fair contracts. Our 14 day notice allows us full freedom to take all steps necessary to push Fred Meyer to do the right thing and settle a fair contract now!
