Workers at Albertsons, Vons, Pavilions, and Ralphs locations throughout southern California are voting this week on a new three-year contract that includes changes to wages, working hours and health benefits.
“In the district I only have three and a half hours [working] during the day. It is not enough to live. So, my idea was to look for a job with more hours, with better benefits and with a better salary,” Jaramillo told KPBS in Spanish.Walters said the changes would apply to workers from “Bakersfield to the border.”
“Everything is very expensive here in California. Well, living is hard and so if we get a raise, it would be great for us and our families as well,” Jaramillo said in Spanish.Voting continues Tuesday in Escondido, and Wednesday in Mission Valley. Results are expected at the end of this week. “Minimum wage has been collapsing upon some of our wage brackets and we’ve got 20, 30-year members that are making just two bucks above minimum wage,” Walters said. “We’re not trying to get rich, we’re just trying to have a livable wage in San Diego County. And I think we did it.”
If the contract is ratified through a majority vote of approval, the changes will be applied retroactively, starting March 7, 2022.
