Van Til’s Contract has been ratified!

Congratulations to all Van Til’s Members on ratifying your new contract!

On March 24, 2025, Union members came out to vote on the proposed tentative agreement offer. We are pleased to report that the new contract has been approved and accepted by the Van Til’s members. The new contract will last for three years and is effective immediately.

Key Improvements in the Van Til’s Supermarket Contract:

      • Considerable Annual Wage Increases for ALL Members over the life of the contract, including retro pay.
      • No Economic Concessions! No economic benefits and protections were taken away from the contract for current members.
      • Expanded Funeral Leave
      • No Changes to Health & Welfare Premiums

A Special Thank You

We are grateful to all the Van Til’s members who took the time to fill out the recent contract survey. Before any contract is negotiated, Local 881 sends surveys to members to gather feedback. Your Union is committed to listening and learning about what issues are foremost on the minds of members. We believe the discussion at the negotiation table should reflect the priorities of the workers! Thank you for participating in this critical step!

We want you to continue to participate! To share your thoughts or concerns, come to a meeting, get involved, or speak with your Union Rep. We are available and open to constructive criticism. With your passion, activism, and involvement, we will only be stronger.

We have been proud to represent Van Til’s workers for decades and we have never wavered from our commitment to protecting and fighting on your behalf. You might not love or agree with everything we do, but the reality is we will always have your back.

It is our privilege to be at your service. Should you have any questions, please contact your Union Representative at 847-294-5064 to discuss any concerns you have.
