The phone calls below were sent out to Save Mart and Safeway members on Friday, July 12, 2019.

Save Mart:

As negotiations have continued, progress with Save Mart has been more troublesome than expected on the critical issue of healthcare. Your employer, unfortunately, has been reluctant to reach a satisfactory agreement on your health care provisions.

In the mean time we have made significant progress negotiating with Safeway. Accordingly, we are now making every effort to complete bargaining with Safeway and next we will focus all of our efforts on finding a meeting of the minds with your employer.
 
Thank you for your patience, please continue supporting your Union in word and deed.

Safeway:

From around the clock negotiations with Safeway and Vons, we have made significant breakthroughs in the bargaining process as it relates to reaching a settlement in pension funding, healthcare provisions, key contract language addressing compression associated with the increases in the minimum wage and we are now focused on discussing much deserved wage increases.

Thank you for your patience, please continue supporting your Union in word and deed.

Solidarity Works!
