Thank you for all you’re doing to make our customers’ days better.

As you know we are currently in negotiations with Local 555, and I wanted to give you a quick update.

We have negotiations scheduled with the union next week. Negotiations take time, but we will continue to work hard and meet with the union to reach a good agreement.

We recognize that there has been a lot of communication taking place around negotiations and union activity. This may cause a lot of uncertainty and stress for you.

We care about you, and I want you to know that the company is committed to investing in you with good wages, affordable health care, and a pension for when you retire.

We will continue to provide you with updates, and I promise, we will always be open, honest, and transparent with you.

We will regularly update you through phone calls, Fresh Start and you can go online to www.FredMeyerCBA.com for updates or speak with a store leader.

Make it a great day! I’ll see you in the stores soon!
