Safeway workers rallied in Pleasant Hill Tuesday ahead of a potentially looming statewide strike. On Friday, members of the grocery workers’ union, UFCW 5, voted 95% yes to authorize an unfair labor practice strike.
The negotiations, which took place on July 8 and July 9, were centered around fair pay, better scheduling, increased retirement savings, and accessible and affordable health care, according to the union. UFCW 5 and other locals 8 and 648 represent around 25,000 Safeway workers.
