ULP Strike Authorization Overwhelmingly Passes!

This week, 12,000 Stater Bros. workers across Southern California came together and overwhelmingly voted YES to authorize an Unfair Labor Practice (ULP) strike against Stater Bros. for breaking the law by surveilling, interrogating, and discriminating against union members.
This vote sends a strong message to Stater Bros.: We’ve had enough of their union-busting tactics that undermine workers and silence our voices. And if they thought Stater Bros.’ members could be scared away from standing up for our rights, they found out tonight that they are very, very wrong.
What does this mean?
This vote prepares all of us to take action if Stater Bros. continues to commit unfair labor practices that undermine our rights. It does not mean we are on an Unfair Labor Practice strike right now. If you walk off the job before the union declares a strike, you can be disciplined and/or fired. Remember, you will always be the first to know when we take action.
What’s next?
An Unfair Labor Practice strike is always a last resort, and we will continue to push Stater Bros. to do the right thing. We’re scheduled to return to the bargaining table on July 30 and 31, where we are demanding that the company stop breaking the law and negotiate a contract that respects the work we do. We are fed up with being overworked, disrespected, and undervalued.
Meanwhile, stay connected. Stay ready. This is our moment. We are united, and we are prepared to do whatever it takes to defend our rights.

If you have any questions about what’s happening at the table, the ULP strike authorization, or anything else, reach out to your Union Representative at 909 877-5000.

Stater Bros. Markets Negotiation Update for 7/16/25 - Unfair Labor Practice Strike Vote
Two months ago, Stater Bros. told us, your bargaining committee, that they don’t want to negotiate with us until we have a deal with Kroger and Albertsons. Well, last week our fellow union members at Ralphs, Albertsons, Vons, and Pavilions overwhelmingly voted yes to ratify a new contract that includes higher wages, improved pension, health, and welfare improvements, staffing, and other improvements they deserve as the backbone of these companies.

Since March, we’ve pushed Stater Bros. for real solutions to short staffing, unsafe conditions, and unfair wages, but all we’ve seen is disrespect and frivolous bargaining sessions. And while we’ve been fighting to reach a deal, they’ve been breaking the law, unlawfully surveilling members who have been active in the contract campaign, discriminating against members on the basis of their union support, interrogating members, and bypassing the union’s bargaining committee and making proposals directly to members.

That’s why we’ve scheduled a crucial virtual Unfair Labor Practice Strike Vote. Voting will be done virtually using ElectionBuddy. You will receive voting instructions and your ballot ID via text message and email on Wednesday at 8:00 pm, following the last Zoom Webinar Meeting.
Voting will start on Wednesday, July 23, at 8:00 pm and end on Friday, July 25, 2025, at 4:00 pm.

from Zoom with instructions on how to join the meeting.
If you do not receive the Zoom link or have any questions, please contact your Union Representative by calling your Union office at 909-877-5000.

We’ve never had to take an Unfair Labor Practice strike vote at Stater Bros., but the company has changed. We need to stand up to our company’s unlawful behavior. By violating our rights, Stater Bros. is making our fight for our futures, our families, and our communities harder. That’s why we need EVERY SINGLE UNION MEMBER to come out and vote YES during the Unfair Labor Practice Strike vote. We need to send a loud and clear message to them with our vote.

We’re scheduled to return to the table on July 30 and 31, and it’s time we make Stater Bros. understand that we won’t back down.

Stay involved and do not hesitate to reach out to your Union Representative with any questions.

Gelson's Negotiation Update for 7/15/25
Today, we met with Gelson’s for our very first bargaining session. The bargaining committee showed up as a strong, united force, ready to fight for the contract we deserve.

We began the bargaining session by presenting all of our proposals, including fair wages and benefits for the work we do, increasing staffing in the store, and protecting union jobs from outside vendors. We heard from management that “Gelson’s is different.” Still, we shared that we are facing the same understaffing and safety issues as our Ralphs, Vons, Albertsons, and Pavilions brothers, sisters, and siblings.

We reached a few tentative agreements, but we are still waiting for them to respond to the critical issues of wages and staffing.

What’s Next?

We’ve scheduled another bargaining date on Tuesday, July 29, where we’re hopeful that we’ll reach an agreement on our full contract.

As always, make sure you’re staying engaged and informed. Talk to your co-workers. Wear your union merch. Only by banding together in solidarity will we get the contract we’ve earned and deserve.

If you have any questions about what’s happening at the table or anything else about bargaining, reach out to your Union Representative.

July 2, 2025 - We’ve Reached a Tentative Agreement on our Ralphs, Albertsons, Vons, and Pavilions Contracts

After five months of hard work and determination, we’re excited to announce that we have reached a tentative agreement with Kroger and Albertsons! From rallies, marches, petitions, and wearing buttons to one-on-one conversations with our co-workers and customers, our strength has been on full display. We’ve shown that when workers come together and rise up, we can fight for a better future for ourselves and our co-workers.

Following an intense 40-plus hour bargaining session that began on Friday morning, we’ve secured an agreement that addresses our priorities, which we want to share with you. It includes higher wages, more money for pension contributions, additional health and welfare improvements, and staffing that we deserve.

But remember – nothing is final until we all have the chance to review the details and cast our vote.

This victory wouldn’t have been possible without the power of our collective action. We stood strong against the companies’ disrespect and made it clear that we were ready to fight for the contract we deserve.
Our solidarity and victory here sends a message to workers everywhere – when we fight together, we win.

Next Steps

Remember, this is a tentative agreement. It is not final until you vote to accept it.

You will have the opportunity to review the deal and have your questions addressed before casting your vote. We are finalizing the scheduling of vote days, times, and locations. Details of the tentative Agreement will be presented at upcoming contract ratification meetings.

Meeting dates, times, and locations for ratification meetings will be mailed to members' homes.

If you have any questions, reach out to your Union Representative.
