RECORD PROFITS
Grocery stores are ranking in RECORD PROFITS – Some are even pursing stock buybacks to inflate share prices to reward executives and investors while denying their workers hazard pay
PAID SICK DAYS

Join our fight to get Hazard Pay for Essential Grocery Workers
Local 5 has joined with UFCW local unions throughout California in a campaign to compel cities and counties to adopt ordinances requiring grocery companies to provide hazard pay to their employees during the pandemic.
The proposed ordinance would require grocery stores to implement hazard pay for all essential front-line grocery workers in the amount of $5 an hour in counties that are above a yellow-tier status on the COVID-19 severity scale.
Join your cities Virtual Council Meeting on ZOOM to tell them you want Hazard Pay!
