Posted on by admin


RICHLAND, Wash. — Workers at the Fred Meyer in Richland voted to ratify their first union contract, according to UFCW3000, in a process that took over three years. The contract includes a new wage scale with annual raises, workplace safety language, avenues to escalate unaddressed concerns, protections from discipline without reason, health care access and union security.

Additionally, a grievance procedure is outlined, in case the employees experience “unjust discipline or any violations” of the contract, they have an ability to challenge it.
