No Deal With Safeway – Strike Vote March 5th

After negotiating into the night, we still do not have a deal with Safeway. What Safeway has on the table is still far from the tentative agreement with Giant. This week there has been no new progress. Safeway’s proposal still does not fully fund our pension. They have not proposed details for how they would provide future pension benefits and they do not have a proposal that ensures benefits will be paid when one of our current pension funds goes insolvent next year. 

We plan to continue negotiations until we reach a fair deal. If Safeway’s proposal does not improve, we will be recommending you vote to reject the offer and vote to authorize a strike. We will not agree to a deal that is significantly less than what has been agreed to with Giant and we will not abandon our retirees or give up the pension we have worked hard to earn.
