Members of the UFCW Local 555 union have voted to ratify a new three-year contract with Fred Meyer and QFC stores in Oregon and SW Washington, the Local 555 announced Monday.
The agreement comes after months of negotiations, in which the union accused the company of unfair labor practices, and included a worker strike in late August.
Local 555 President Dan Clay released a statement following the announcement:
“This contract is a victory for members of Local 555, who showed strength and solidarity throughout the entire fight. It was won by union workers coming together and by a community standing with them. After months of hard work, Fred Meyer and QFC workers have secured an agreement that ensures higher wages, stronger healthcare, and a stable retirement.
The agreement also improves our process to address contract violations. This contract is going to change thousands of lives and it could only have been accomplished with the work and dedication of everyone involved and the support of our communities.”
