Meet Your Albertsons / Safeway Bargaining Committee

I work in the Meat Department at Safeway #2666. I want to be on the bargaining committee because I want my coworkers voices to be heard, and be a part of the future of my workplace.

I've been with Safeway for 13 years. This is my 2nd time on the committee. I fight for my Brother's and Sister's because we deserve a good contract. 

I am excited to be on the bargaining committee because I truly care about our upcoming contract and I feel like I can make an impact for not only myself, but for my coworkers as well. I have worked in the Deli department for going on 5 years now.

I have 14 years of service. I am a Beverage Steward. I am a second generation Union member following in my father's footsteps. My goal is to fight for honest pay and a safe working environment for all of us.

I am an APC Clerk. During my 40 years with Safeway, I’ve had a vested interest in the collective bargaining unit. I have participated with the negotiating team for the past 3 contracts. My interest has grown with each negotiation,  and I have enjoyed the process.  It is important to represent and voice the concerns of my fellow union members. Unions are more vital than ever to assure job security, fair wages, benefits and job safety. I will be retiring soon and am especially concerned about the proposed merger of Kroger and Albertsons. 

I am a 29 year member of Albertsons Store 841 in Aurora, Colorado. I work in the meat department. I have served proudly on the bargaining committee for the last 3 contracts. I currently serve on the Executive Board since 2015 and a have been a Union Steward for 9 years. I stand tall for workers’ rights and understand the hard work it takes for the bargaining committee to help secure a good contract at the bargaining table. I am excited to see what our future holds with our upcoming contract.

I have been on the Executive Board for over 10 years. I’m a 45 year member with Local 1564 in Albuquerque for 16 years and 29 years with Local 7.  I’ve worked in different capacities with Local 7 on multiple occasions. 3 years ago I was a Special Project Union Rep and assisted in taking on King Soopers during a 9 day strike. I’ve always worked hard to get the best contracts for our members. Thank you for allowing me to be on the Safeway negotiation committee.

I’m interested in learning all I can about the union, how we can better serve and support the employees of the company. I have worked for Safeway for 5 years, but I worked for Safeway about 13 years then left for almost a year before returning. I was hired for the fuel station, became a manager of fuel then went inside to hang tags, bookkeeper, stocked shelves for GM/HBC. I became a head clerk and then a front end manager before leaving . Now I’m a head clerk hang tags and back up bookkeeper. I also help in DUG. Thank you for giving me this opportunity.

The reason I want to be on the bargaining committee is because I want to help us get a good contract. 

I have been working in Produce Department of Albertsons 839 for 20 years. I wanted to be on the Bargaining Committee because I learned a lot from previous bargaining sessions and would love to learn more from Kim and everyone about how to fight for our members.

I am proud of my working class background and want to make it clear to the bosses that labor is the backbone of their industry.  We are to be respected and rewarded abundantly, for all that we do for them.  They are NOTHING without us.  They had best not forget that.  SOLIDARITY FOREVER.

 I'm the Scan Coordinator (File Maintenance) at my store, where I've been for 17 years. I am on the bargaining committee because I want to learn how the negotiation process works, and I want to commit my skills and voice to the rising tide that lifts all of our boats.

I have been working with Safeway for almost 5 years now and I am a Front End Manager.  I wanted to serve on the committee because I want the opportunity to work for employees wages, benefits, pensions etc. all beside the people that help us get this done.  

I work at Safeway 2810 and have been there for 24 years. Not only am I honored to be on the committee, but I am also excited. One voice may not be heard, but a committee of voices is powerful. I always say knowledge is power. Why sit back and ask questions when you can be involved and answer them.

I have been at Safeway for just under 5 years and have worked in many departments. Currently, I am in the front end working as the Store Administrator. I want to be a part of the bargaining team because I really care about the future for myself and my fellow employees. These moments define the next few year's to come and this should mean a lot to anyone involved. I'm also interested in learning more about the union and what they have to offer. I also enjoy new opportunities and can't wait to try something new!

I believe that we can make a difference in someone’s life.

I have been a Steward for 12 years. I've always been here for my people and I can't wait to fight for what we deserve.

I have been with Safeway for 10 years. I work hard and will fight for better rights for all employees.

We have great leadership (Kim Cordova) negotiating our contract with our employer. I look forward to securing better wages, better safety, and better benefits along with keeping our pension in the green and good health benefits.

I am an APC representing Store 2919. I have worked for Safeway for 9 years. I understand this is going to be an erratic time for all workers and I want to ensure that for Safeway and Kings Soopers that we achieve the best contract possible for next year. Let's keep our union strong and keep Safeway and Kings the best retail places in Colorado for benefitting our employees!

I'm a Technician Specialist for Safeway. I been with the company 22 years. We worked so hard day in and day out.  We deserve to fight for better staffing, wages, and really all of the above. I currently work 12 hours shifts due to staffing.  Keep in mind it's flu/covid season so we're constantly busy. As we roll in to bargaining, we need to be strong and willing to do what it takes to get a better contact.  We are the UNION and we will conquer!

I am grateful for the opportunity to serve my fellow workers. I work in the produce department. I have 4+ years of service.
