Stop & Shop

STOP & SHOP TO CLOSE STORES IN OUR JURISDICTION - ALL THOSE MEMBERS DISPLACED WILL BE OFFERED JOBS AT OTHER LOCATIONS

President Niccollai reported that a regional meeting was held at our offices today with executives from Stop & Shop and Local Unions representing members in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and the other New England states.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF STOP AND SHOP GUIDELINES

FOR ADDRESSING SHOPLIFTERS

The Union has been informed by Stop and Shop that it is their intention to disseminate an electronic policy restricting store associates from engagements and confrontations with alleged shoplifters.  Obviously, we have no objection to the policy on its face since our duties and responsibilities do not relate to security work or the detection and prevention of theft of merchandise by customers.

KINGS & ACME ESTABLISHING A “THANK YOU BONUS”

As our Brothers and Sisters know, your Union is in constant communication with our Employers concerning any program for additional pay as the COVID-19 Pandemic continues and we work in more demanding and threatening conditions.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE ARE PROVIDING FREE COVID-19 TESTS

 

 

President Niccollai reported today that there are several sources from which individuals can obtain free COVID-19 tests.  Late yesterday afternoon, both the United States Government and the Unites States Postal Service put up websites through which those seeking at-home tests could have them mailed to their residence.

 

The sites are as follows:

UPDATE ON COVID TESTING FOR NON-VACCINATED MEMBERS

As we get closer to the February 9, 2022 deadline for employees either being vaccinated or tested, we continue negotiations with our Employers.   Obviously, as we stated in our previous posting of December 30, 2021 we are vehemently opposed to the cost of the tests being paid by the employee.
