Shaw’s Warehouse Workers (UFCW 791) Win New Contract with Raises

Workers at the Shaw’s Distribution Center in Wells overwhelmingly ratified a new four-year contract that includes pay increases and pension improvements. The contract includes $5.05 per hour raise over four years, increases in employer pension contributions and straightening out of workflows. Nate Jordan, President UFCW 791 said that it is the best contract his members have won since they unionized in 1998.

“Our last contract for 2022 to '25 was the best contract that that that we've seen and this one here beat it, so we've done really well the last couple of contracts,” he said.

UFCW 791 represents between 250 and 275 workers at the Shaw’s Distribution Center.
