After months of negotiations, pickets, and a strike authorization, over 1,600 members of UFCW Local 3000 who work at PCC Community Markets in Seattle and seven surrounding cities ratified an industry-leading contract on Feb. 6.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

The two-year contract includes wage increases that make PCC Community Markets members the highest paid grocery and meat workers in the area. The contract also improves the safety of PCC Community Markets stores and maintains health care benefits. Significant gains were made in increasing our members\u2019 voices in the operation of PCC Community Markets stores going forward, and a groundbreaking agreement and process were secured to have workers on the board and begin discussion with the company around profit sharing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

\u201cFor the first time ever, we won wage escalators to ensure our lowest wage workers stay above the minimum wage,\u201d said Atsuko Koseki, who works at the deli at the PCC Community Markets store in Edmonds. \u201cWe fought hard for helper clerks and won wage increases for our lowest paid deli workers. We did this by standing together and fighting together.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

\u201cPerseverance to prosperity, I am grateful for the largest pay raise in PCC history,\u201d said Allison Smith, who is a meat cutter at the PCC Community Markets store in Issaquah.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
