PCC Forming our proposals
On Friday, May 26 our Union PCC Bargaining Committee met together to discuss many of the topics members suggested during the May CAT meetings, as well as the bargaining priorities collected from the Union Bargaining Surveys. We began the process of reviewing the major recurring topics and have started to formulate contract proposals for our first bargaining session with the Employer.
Top Union Bargaining Survey priorities included:
Winning better pay
Increasing retention
Safety at our stores
Keeping good affordable healthcare coverage
A democratic process for Members on the Board
Maintaining strong retirement
One wage scale for the same type of work at all stores
Addressing scheduling issues and building more power in the co-op industry
Our Union Bargaining Committee meets again for our first bargaining session with the Employer on June 6. We have confirmed bargaining dates with PCC for June 8, 20, July 26 and August 10. New button designs coming soon!
Our Union Bargaining Team also discussed the plan to win the best PCC contract possible, including how we can take collective action starting with asking our coworkers to sign a Pledge of support by adding your name to the PCC Workers Declaration of Demands and sign on to do whatever it takes to achieve these demands.
