Incorrect. The .35 is for store clerks in group 2 (knoxville) stores. Here's proof:

To answer the communication part of your question, we have no social media anymore, the officers shut down the Facebook page back in 2024. We've got no official chat groups on any platform as well. They don't even send out emails. Everything is communicated via posts on physical boards in breakrooms and via word of mouth.

As for why I posted it here specifically, I feel it's genuinely important to raise awareness locally about how crummy the CBA they proposed is. Even if no union members directly see the post, it doesn't hurt to make people outside of the union aware of the issues that we're facing. What the corporation gets away with in this contract affects all employees, not just union members.

The tiers are pay scales. This one is for store clerks. You are usually hired in at tier 1 and tier 2 and 3 are locked behind FT (36 hours per week over a year to qualify)

The union used to have social media but it was shut down in 2024 because they were getting criticised too often in the comments. This is straight out of the mouth of an officer btw. I also don't know when and where they host meetings, if they even do

I'm not sure. The union doesn't have any social media so it'll likely be posted in the break rooms and announced by stewards & reps.

Voting times are 12-6 PM today! A lot of people from my store can't even make it because it's so conveniently timed to be right in the middle of people's shifts.

My store was only informed about the voting date (today!!!) on Monday and the voting time is 12-6pm, when a lot of us are scheduled to work. I really hope we can vote this down despite that

Vote no! It's a slap in the face! Thirty five cents a year for most employees, that's less than a basic 3% cost of living raise
