Bargaining Set to Resume in May

Friday, the company and union concluded this week’s bargaining session without making additional progress. The day ended with the union presenting the company with petitions about staffing concerns and the company awaiting a union response to its initial wage proposal.

Bargaining Resumes in May

The company and the union are scheduled to resume negotiations May 12–14. We understand that a prolonged bargaining process can feel uncertain and stressful. While this break in the schedule is due to conflicts on both sides, Ralphs remains focused on reaching an agreement as quickly as possible.

Committed to a Fair Agreement

• Focused on What Matters Most
  Our proposals have prioritized competitive wage increases, affordable, high-quality healthcare, and stable retirement benefits—all designed to support you and your family.
• Working Toward Timely Progress
  Since bargaining began in February, we’ve reviewed every union proposal, responded with adjustments, and stayed open to creative solutions where we’ve disagreed. Negotiation takes both sides, and we’ve consistently come ready to find common ground.
• Keeping You Informed
  We’ve shared regular updates through huddles, FEED, Fresh Start videos, and at RalphsCBA.com. Our commitment is to keep you empowered with facts—not fear or misinformation.

Bottom line: Ralphs values the essential role you play in serving our customers every day. We are committed to securing an agreement that reflects that value—and doing so through respectful, transparent, and honest negotiations.
