Rite Aid Negotiations Update – October 22, 2019

** NOTE: Updated 10/24/19 with additional rally locations **

Meetings with Rite Aid resume this week, and while UFCW 8-Golden State continues to seek innovative solutions to control medical costs and push for the best possible benefits and wages, Rite Aid has chosen not to renew the current extension agreement.

The extension agreement has allowed for additional healthcare contributions to maintain benefits, and with its cancellation, we must take action.

We are planning rallies at dozens of select Rite Aid stores to engage with consumers and our community partners, letting them know about Rite Aid’s attempt to cut their employees benefits.

It’s important to note, this is not a strike or walkout, it’s a community action to inform the public. Members are able to participate if they are not working during the time of the action.

We must respond to protect your benefits. It’s crucial, now more than ever, for you to remain united with your Union to get the contract you deserve.

Stay strong and together we will prove Solidarity Works!

NOTE: Additional locations to follow.
