MACY’S UFCW LOCAL 5 MEMBERS VOTING ON MACY’S OFFER 12-22-22 HANDLERY HOTEL CONFERENCE ROOM
Your Macy’s Union Bargaining Committee is resuming negotiations with representatives of Macy’s management tomorrow, December 21, 2022.
It is the Bargaining Committee’s hope that Macy’s representatives come to the bargaining table with an approved offer that is fair and equitable and seriously addresses the cost of living impacting all workers in the Bay Area. Just as important are job security issues related to layoffs and elimination of full-time jobs.
Macy’s has threatened layoffs without regard to seniority if a sufficient number of employees do not accept a proposed severance package. Elimination of full-time positions are also on the chopping block for both Sales and Support staff.
The Bargaining Committee expects an approved offer from Macy’s representatives based on a discussion they had with a representative of the UFCW International Union, which later was conveyed to the BargainingCommittee.
Based on the expectation of an improved offer the Bargaining Committee decided to schedule a vote on such offer for December 22, 2022, the very next day. It is necessary to put an end to the stalling charade Macy’s representatives continue to engage in.
If an acceptable offer is not forthcoming, and the Macy’s membership votes to reject the offer by a two-thirds majority, a strike will be called for midnight of December 22nd and will continue through the close of Macy’s business on Saturday December 24th. The strike will be an Unfair Labor Practice strike which would prohibit Macy’s to lock-out workers beyond December 24th.
The Local 5 Executive Board has approved a strike benefit for $150 for each day of the strike provided that striking members picket for no less than 6 hours on each of the two days.
IN SOLIDARITY,
UFCW LOCAL 5 BARGAINING COMMITTEE
您的Macy’s工會談判委員會將於明天（2022 年 12 月 21 日）恢復與Macy’s管理層代表的談判。
談判委員會希望Macy’s的代表帶著公平公正並認真能解決影響灣區所有工人生活成本的可以接受的提議來到談判桌上。 同樣重要的是與裁員和取消全職工作有關的工作保障問題。
Macy’s威脅稱，如果有足夠數量的員工不接受提議的遣散費方案，則會不分資歷裁員。 消除Sales和Support全職職位的提議亦在公司的砧板上任他宰割。
談判委員會期望Macy’s的代表提出一份根據他們與 UFCW 國際總工會代表的討論結果所得的可接受的談判提案，並且該提案後來被轉達給談判委員會。
基於對公司會交有所改善的談判方案的預期，談判委員會決定在 2022 年 12 月 22 日，即第二天，對改善了的談判方案進行投票。 此舉是有必要的，為了結束Macy’s談判代表繼續進行的拖延遊戲。
如果未收到可接受和有所改善的談判方案，並且將在Macy’s會員投票後若以三分之二大比數拒絕該方案的情況下，我們會在 12 月 22 日午夜召集罷工，並將持續到星期六 12 月 24 日Macy’s營業時間結束後。 這次罷工將是基於公司的不公平勞工行為而罷工，所以將不允許Macy’s在 12 月 24 日之後禁止員工回到工作崗位。
Local 5 執行委員會已批准了在罷工期間每天 150 美元的罷工福利，但前提是罷工成員必須在這兩天罷工的每一天內都要參與不少於 6 小時的罷工行動才可以領取罷工福利。
讓我們團結一致,
UFCW 5號工會談判委員會
