This week, we resumed negotiations with UFCW 401 for our second set of bargaining dates to keep collaborating on a new deal for our Alberta Safeway teammates.

Our discussions were focused on non-monetary proposals, and we’re pleased to report that the company and the union have made steady progress on their proposal lists. There’s been a real effort to find solutions that benefit everyone—the company, the union, and our teammates.

Like we’ve said, and will continue to reinforce, we’re committed to reaching a fair and market-competitive collective agreement that will help secure a sustainable future for us all.

The next bargaining session is scheduled for November 17-19. We look forward to ongoing productive conversations with your union.

We’ll share an update after those discussions.

If you have any questions in the meantime, be sure to connect with your Store Manager.
