Senator Schumer announced that over 19,000 members of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union (UFCW) Local One Chapter in Upstate New York have had their pensions restored, thanks to $764 million received from the American Rescue Plan. These workers, who were victims of a collapsed pension system following the 2008 financial crisis, will now have the financial security they deserve.
Cub Foods employees and United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 663 reached a tentative agreement, averting a planned strike at 33 corporate-owned stores in the Twin Cities. The deal includes a new two-year contract, raises of $2.50 to $3.50 an hour by Spring 2024, and the conversion of 300 retail specialists to assistants with full-time positions. The agreement still needs to be ratified by union members during a vote scheduled for April 11.
Members of the United Food and Commercial Workers union who work at dozens of Cub Foods stores in Minneapolis and across the West Metro voted 94.5% in favor of a strike due to what they call “unfair labor practices.” The union represents more than 3,000 employees at 33 Cub Foods locations and is seeking higher wages for both full and part-time workers. The last contract negotiation was in 2018, and the contract ended on March 4. The union has to wait out the mandatory 10-day cooling off period before going on strike.
