Southern California Albertsons / Vons Pharmacist Update – February 17, 2026

We met with Albertsons/Vons for our second bargaining session last week. The companies’ current responses to our proposals are an attempt to whittle away at the protections we have in the contract. The company did not address issues such as wages, benefits, and staffing. Members deserve serious proposals, and we’re ready to stand together to get the contract we deserve.

The contract expires on March 1st, and additional bargaining sessions are scheduled this week. We will continue to keep members updated with any progress.

Wear your union buttons to show our solidarity and power. Ignore any company propaganda and the rumor mills, and reach out to your District Union Representative with any questions.

Together, we will continue to prove Solidarity Works!
