THE WORK WE DO: COMMUNITY HEALTH RESOURCE

October 14, 2022

As brick-and-mortar retail operations fight off online competition and a surge in shoplifting across the sector, 1199 members at Rite Aid are amongst the few retail workers who can rely on contract language to protect their jobs.

These members know they are providing a vital community resource, offering free health advice and convenient products, often in areas where healthcare coverage is poor.

This summer, Rite Aid members ratified a new three-year-contract including three percent annual pay increases, as well as holding onto their 1199SEIU Pension Fund, Training and Upgrading Fund and Child Care Fund.
