Throughout the last several months of contract negotiations, BCTGM Local 22 in Minneapolis, Minn. has been fighting back demands by UNFI/Cub Foods to take away workers’ retirement and health care benefits.
Despite Local 22’s attempts to negotiate a fair contract, UNFI continues to insist that the workers sacrifice their union negotiated health care benefits and accept an inferior plan that could cost them thousands more per year in out-of-pocket costs.
Additionally, despite UNFI’s record profits, the company’s proposals would strip union members of their pension benefits.
If that isn’t bad enough, they are also holding firm on taking away daily time and a half pay. The company further wants to change the contract language that would allow them to randomly alter work hours and enforce other proposals that negatively impact union members.
