UFCW Local 1000 takes the challenges that face workers seriously, as well as the opportunity Collective Bargaining presents to address them and improve the lives of the workers we represent. As such and in preparation for bargaining, President Burris & Secretary Treasurer Foley-Howard had meetings with the UFCW International Director of Bargaining and other UFCW Locals in our Region to review research on grocery industry trends in our areas and as well as Kroger's position in the DFW area.

Be on the lookout for bargaining surveys and information regarding the bargaining committee.

President Burris and UFCW Local 1000 staff met with Shop Stewards and VOC's to discuss preparation for upcoming bargaining and existing issues in the stores.
