Since January, we’ve been at the table with UFCW 1518 and your bargaining committee, working collaboratively towards a fair, modern and competitive collective agreement for Safeway teammates in British Columbia.

We’re pleased to share that we’ve reached a tentative agreement that’s fully recommended by UFCW 1518 and your teammates on the bargaining committee. Given the significant time and effort invested by all involved, it’s good to know that this deal will be presented to all teammates with full support of the Union. We thank your teammates on the bargaining committee for making sure your voice was well heard and for their hard work as we focused on what we all needed in this collective agreement.

The Union will be sending information on meetings and the ratification vote schedule soon. We really encourage you to participate and to vote on this important agreement. Once ratified, we can move forward with implementation of this new, fair agreement.

Beyond this, we’re also looking forward to meeting with UFCW 247 and BCTGM 468 and their bargaining committees in the coming weeks. More details will follow.

Thank you again for your continued support throughout this process. We’re excited to continue growing as a team.
