D.C.: ACTION ALERT: SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SUPERMARKET WORKERS!


Just in from the Metro Washington Council, AFL-CIO Union City:

Safeway's heavy-handed idea of negotiating is to hire strikebreakers while their workers are still in contract talks. You can help Safeway and Giant's working families win a just contract that provides them with the living wage, fair and affordable healthcare health coverage and pensions they deserve.

Let your local grocery workers and their managers know you care! Whether it's handing your checkout clerk a support card, sending a letter to your local store manager or joining an outreach day, every action makes a difference. Click here to let us know how you can help!

Time is short: the contract between United Food and Commercial Workers Local 400 and Safeway and Giant expires at the end of the month: Click here to take action now!

Good jobs and good benefits help build strong communities. Please forward widely.
