Cub Scheduling Issues Update Page

Charges Filed with NLRB

On Monday, December 9, 2024, UFCW 1189 filed EIGHT charges against UNFI/Cub with the National Labor Relations Board, a Federal agency tasked with upholding labor laws.  The charges stem from repeated failure on the company’s part to comply with the grievance process in multiple grievances. The company has blatantly disregarded repeated attempts to obtain necessary information, which they must provide by law.  Your Union representatives continue to work on these grievances despite the repeated roadblocks the company has put in place. Federal board agents will investigate the charges we have brought against UNFI. We will have another update later this week.

Class Action Grievance Update

On 11/22/2024, the Union met with UNFI's new labor-management team over the 8 outstanding class action grievances about scheduling. 

While nothing has been resolved, we feel this was a step in the right direction. 

We will be providing them with more information, and have given them until December 4 to respond. This response will determine whether we continue through the grievance steps to possible mediation or arbitration, or if we will file board charges, and what actions from the members will be appropriate to help support the process. 

We also have the signed contracts out to the printer and should have copies to distribute to the stores in the next couple weeks.
