UFCW 655 prepares for contract talks with first-in-nation member teleconference, Facebook Live Town
“One good job should be enough.”
With that as the unofficial theme for upcoming contract negotiations with the local food industry, where too often workers have to have two jobs in order to make ends meet for their families, UFCW Local 655 launched an innovative communications effort to listen to and engage its members in preparation for the negotiations involving almost 8,000 union members. The initial talks will be with Schnucks Markets with Dierbergs to follow. Those contracts set a pattern for the rest of the industry.
The effort — using modern telephone teleconference techniques and Facebook live broadcasts — involves four stages to ensure the widest possible opportunity for members to participate in the negotiations:
