Your UFCW bargaining team has reached a tentative agreement with Albertsons/Vons/Pavilions and Ralphs.

This historic agreement is the direct result of your actions, delegations, conversations with co-workers and customers, and ultimately, your decision to fight for the contract you deserve.

This member-led deal would not have been possible without the strength of the 60,000 members behind us at the table.

Important Reminders
• This is a TENTATIVE AGREEMENT and is not final until you vote to accept it.
•We will be scheduling vote days, times, and locations shortly. Please look out for updates from your Local union.
• Your determination to stand up to the unfair labor practices that would undermine workers’ power to get a good contract made this possible. Please know that standing up for our rights works.

Next Steps
UFCW staff from all over the country are being sent in to assist with ratification votes. Your solidarity and victory here sends a message to workers everywhere– that essential workers have earned and deserve a better life.

Full details of the agreement will be provided to members as soon as possible. Thank you for all that you do and have done to get the contract you deserve.
