The Safeway Bargaining Committee is prepared to get down to business for a new agreement but Safeway seems to be absent from the table. Local 5 has requested additional dates for bargaining in the month of December and have had no response.

We now are requesting for the company to provide several dates in January. Local 5 will be planning actions at multiple Safeway stores if no response is forthcoming very soon.

We also want to remind our Shop Stewards to enroll in our upcoming Shop Steward conference on February 8th at the Oakland Marriot. You can enroll on this website or contact your Union Representative for more information.

The Local 5 staff and bargaining committee wishes all Local 5 members a happy and prosperous New Year!
