GREAT NEWS!!

You have probably heard by now that UFCW has reached a tentative agreement with Ralphs, Vons and Albertsons. We feel very positive about the agreement. We will take it to our members on Monday, August 8th for a ratification vote.

I want to personally thank all of you who took the call of action to support the workers. Whether you did a delegation, joined in the marches, leafletted outside of the markets or simply told a grocery worker I support you, this win is also for you. We know this victory could not have happened without the strength and support of the community.

Thank you! Si Se Pudo!!
