After months of bargaining with Rosauers for a new contract that respects our work, increases our wages, and improves our sick leave, bereavement leave, and vacation, we are holding a contract vote! This notice serves to inform all members that a critical contract vote meeting will be held on February 4 for members covered by the Rosauers Spokane Grocery and Spokane Meat contracts and on February 6 for members covered by the Rosauers Lewiston Grocery & Meat contract.

The Bargaining Team will present the tentative agreement received from the Employer. Members will have the opportunity to discuss the terms and implications of the offer before voting on the fully recommended settlement.

/

Your coworker-led bargaining committee met with Rosauers on January 8 and 9 and reached a fully recommended settlement with some great improvements.

We will send dates out soon!

Highlights from the new agreement:
 

  • Significant above-area grocery standard wage increases.

  • New pay scales for improving Appendix B, C, and D wage classifications.

  • Added pension benefits as well as improved vacation and benefit language.

  • An improved meat cutter apprenticeship program will be implemented to secure longevity in the industry and protect Meat Department work.

  • Improvements to sick leave, bereavement leave, vacation, and other benefits.

  • Improved opportunities for more Rosauers employees to join and grow the strength of our union for future negotiations.

Rosauers Bargaining Update

Your coworker-led bargaining team met with Rosauers for the second bargaining session on December 9th and 10th. With our few Tentative Agreements, we would be able to have the option to cash out 5 vacation days if we are unable to use them due to the needs of the business. We would also be able to have the option to gift our vacation days to our coworkers who may need extra time off due to life-altering events.

We continued to propose livable wage increases with the high inflation we have all felt the effects of, but the company came back with wage proposals that were not sufficient to our team. Our coworker-led Bargaining Team is asking all of us to come together in solidarity and show Rosauers that these economic proposals are unacceptable. Please join us by wearing a button until we get the contract ratified and to show the company, we are going to continue this fight until we win!

One of the big wins we got was Workforce Development, which is the meat apprenticeship program that is accredited with the state. Another big win was our Strong Safety Language for the first time ever in our contract. This allows the workplace safety committees to recommend trainings for each workplace and topics for the master safety committee.
