On Monday, July 13th, UFCW Local 152 members at Lawrence Street Seafood in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania unanimously voted to ratify a new contract!

The new five-year agreement provides continual monthly pension contributions, as well as a monthly increase in each member’s 401K savings plan. In addition, members will receive yearly wage increases, including a healthy upfront raise of $1.00/hour in 2020. Finally, bereavement leave was increased, and affordable health insurance was maintained for the life of the agreement.

Congratulations to our members and the Negotiating Committee! This included Director of Collective Bargaining Dan Ross, Union Representative Matte Kane, and Shop Steward Tommy Ziegler. Great job!
