After UFCW 401 ended negotiations on June 10, this past Thursday and Friday, you were asked to participate in a strike vote. Your voice is important to us and we thank you for exercising your right by participating.

The results indicate a 79% vote in favor of strike action and a participation rate of 44% of  eligible voters. We are still determining next steps and will reach out to your Union in the near future to determine a path forward. We do want to reiterate our commitment to finding a fair agreement that supports you and positions Safeway for growth in the Province.

Thank you for your continued commitment to your teams and your communities, during what we know is a stressful time. Your efforts truly showcase just how strong our teams in Alberta are. Whatever comes next, we will continue to work together, and we hope to come to a fair resolution soon.

Next steps should be reported soon, so please continue to keep yourself informed. We will post to Safeway Talks when updates are available. Please also check in with your store manager if you have any questions.
