Dear Sisters and Brothers,

In my 35 years as a member of UFCW Local 7, there has never been a more challenging year for our members and for our country. I couldn’t begin to talk about this year without mentioning our biggest loss; our nine sisters and brothers we lost to the coronavirus: Saul Sanchez, Tibursio Rivera López, Eduardo Conchas De La Cruz, Daniel Avila, Way Ler, Tin Aye, Randy Navarez, Karen Haws, and James McKay. Each of their memories serves as an inspiration for me, and for us all, for why we will never stop fighting to protect each other. This year we have faced unprecedented challenges, but we will stand together as we always have and get through this as a Union family.

From the beginning of the pandemic, UFCW Local 7 sounded the alarm to our employers knowing they needed to act swiftly to protect your safety. Beginning in March we started to meet with the employers and the Governor to provide paid leave, safety interventions, PPE, and help with childcare and hazard pay. We established a million dollar hardship fund to help our members who had COVID-19 or COVID-19 related issues. We requested the collaboration of the NFL, the NHL, the MLB, and the NBA to partner with us and bring awareness to the essential workers such as meatpackers, retail, and healthcare. We took our concerns national when we got your stories in the Washington Post, the New York Times, every local and national network, and beyond.

It has truly been disgusting to see how the employers have turned their backs on their essential workers. In the beginning of the pandemic they called you heroes and thanked you in commercials and on billboards. Once they started to see a spike in sales and began raking in billions of dollars, they took hazard pay away and have scaled back significantly on safety. Local Presidents and I continue to call on the employers to demand hazard pay and increased safety in your facilities. Instead of protecting and compensating you for taking care of our communities and risking your lives while doing so, they have stuffed their pockets and turned their backs on the people who needed them most.

The COVID-19 cases continue to rise in the grocery stores at an alarming rate. We are closely monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on the health fund and pension funds. We have seen an increased cost in high dollar claims. United Healthcare reported approximately 161 COVID-19 claims totaling $3.3 million dollars. We are awaiting Kaiser Permanente’s report. As the world suffered from the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, we have seen the volatility of the stock market and the impact on our pension fund. We are working closely with our consultants and plan professionals to monitor the health of both funds.

COVID-19 exposed the reality and conditions our members work under everyday. Local 7 members are critical and essential workers and work through any manmade or natural disaster. During the next cycle of contract negotiations, we will propose language that will allow us to strike or reopen our contract during situations like we faced this year. If we had the right to walk off the job because of unsafe working conditions, the employers would think twice about refusing to prioritize workers and their needs. We will be fighting for essential and hazard pay. Quality and affordable healthcare and retirement benefits will continue to be a priority as well.

On behalf of our Union, we continue to be proud to represent you and your courage during these difficult times. Our Union remains steadfast in our advocacy for all of our members and to show our country that Union solidarity will get us through this crisis together.

In Solidarity,

Kim C. Cordova PAGE 4 VOICE OF 7

To Our Local 7 Membership,

At UFCW Local 7, we value each and every one of our sisters and brothers. It is my pleasure to report the updates from the last year. It is hard to believe that 2020 is coming to an end and 2021 will be here before you know it. While 2020 has been a challenging year, 2019 was a very good year for our Union. Our retail and meat pension plan produced 13.9% gains and continued to maintain its green status. The expected rate of return for the Pension Plan is 7.5%. Performance this year through the end of July is a negative 1.4%. Returns have been better the past few months and will hopefully continue on an upward trend through the rest of this year.

Our Health Plan for the major grocers has been holding its own. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic and continual increases in the cost of healthcare, whether it is the cost of medications or services rendered by doctors’ offices or hospitals, we have been able to maintain a few months of reserves in case we experience a couple months with significant claims to be paid.

For those who are getting close to retiring from the stores or from Denver Processing or the Darling packing plants, our Retiree Health Plan is doing well. To be eligible for the Retiree Health plan, you must have been covered by the active health plan for 15 years. Having health coverage when you retire, especially before age 65, is important and can be very costly on the open market, especially if you have pre-existing conditions. However, the retiree health plan is capped at $500,000, so if you have exceeded $500,000 of Plan expenses during your career, you would not be able to participate. The employers have not increased their contribution level into the Retiree Health Plan since June 1993 and as a result, retirees who are on the Plan have been the ones to pay for all their increasing health care costs for the past 25 years. As it stands currently, the monthly costs for retirees who wish to be on the Plan are $735 per month for a single person or married couple who are both under age 65, $625 per month if a couple is married and one is under 65 and one is 65 or older on Medicare, and $330 per month for a single person or couple who are both 65 or older. A single person would thus pay $735 before age 65 and $330 per month starting at age 65. There is a one-time opt out choice; you have to waive coverage at the time you retire if you can get onto your spouse’s coverage and then you can exercise your option to take our retiree coverage at the time they lose their/your coverage as long as done within timelines defined within the plan document. Or if you become eligible for coverage under a new employer after you retire, you can do a one -time opt out of our retiree plan and then when your new employers coverage ends you can pick back up our retiree health coverage if you so choose (as long as done within timelines defined within the plan document), but you must contact the Plan office to discuss that opt-out option. Contact Zenith American Solutions at 303-430-9334 for more information.

Despite the soberness of the moment, you will see a few things in this publication that are well worth celebrating. Your Strike Fund as of July 31, 2020 has grown to $24,142,906.87. Should we need to access that fund in the next year or so in case of a strike, we’ll be ready. We would like you to know that several contracts expire next year, including our contracts with Kaiser Permanente and JBS. The King Soopers, Albertsons/Safeway, and City Market contract expire in January 2022 and the Mission Foods contract expires in March 2022. Bargaining to renew those contracts will begin later next year. Improving wages, health coverage and pension, working conditions, as well as language for job preservation are always key goals in negotiations.

Discounts for being union members continue to expand, with the latest additions being free General Equivalency Diploma (GED) and foreign language classes for UFCW members. The free college program continues to grow, as does the list of the many businesses which give you discounts for being Union members. Go to our website www.ufcw7.org or www.unionplus.org to find out more or you can check out unionplus.abenity.com for details about more discounts available to UFCW union members.

President Cordova, myself and all of your UFCW Local 7 staff have been working hard enforcing your contracts, whether it be addressing vendor stocking or defending against subcontracting in the stores, safety issues or staffing concerns at Kaiser Permanente, increasing wages for all essential workers, or addressing the on-going safety problems due to COVID-19 at all of the employers. Every day is a challenge and your staff is ready everyday to take on the fight.

You will also see in this publication a list of our Local 7 scholarship winners. Local 7’s Scholarship Program comes out every Spring. Most scholarship programs come out between December and February, so keep a watchful eye out. There are also programs through your International UFCW Union – see their website at http://ufcwcharityfoundation.org/scholarship/ – as well as scholarship programs through the Union Privilege Program called Union Plus. Their scholarship web address is: https://www.unionplus.org/benefits/money/union-plus- scholarships.

As always, we are here to help and to serve. This year has not been the easiest on any of us, but we are always stronger together. Our hearts are with the families of those who have lost loved ones this year, Saul Sanchez, Tibursio Rivera López, Eduardo Conchas, Way Ler, Daniel Avila, Tin Aye, Randy Narvaez, Karen Haws, and James McKay. We will honor their memory and never stop fighting for safety, dignity, and respect for your work and sacrifice as Essential Heroes. We will continue to stand alongside you because we believe in the great things this community can and will accomplish together.

Thank you for the opportunity to be your Secretary-Treasurer.

LOCAL 7 ANNOUNCED HISTORIC $1,000,000.00 HARDSHIP FUND.

Your Union, as a result of the current coronavirus pandemic, established an Emergency Hardship Fund to help our members get through this difficult and trying time. This Emergency Hardship fund is specifically designated for those members who are directly impacted by COVID-19.

The recommended eligibility criteria for determining those active members to receive this one time Emergency Hardship payment of up to $200 are as follows:

The amounts of this one-time Special Emergency Hardship, which are limited to a maximum of $200, shall be determined by the sole discretion of the Hardship Committee of UFCW Local 7’s Executive Board, which is made up of rank and file members. As of 9/23/2020, 756 qualified members have received an Emergency Hardship totaling $150,935.00 PAGE 6 VOICE OF 7

“They had a name, they had a face, they had a heartbeat, they had a soul,” said Kim Cordova, President of UFCW Local 7. “We should never let anybody forget what happened to these workers.”

JBS Local 7 members lost to COVID-19 VOLUME 1 ISSUE 5 PAGE 7

The impact of the pandemic has changed the way we live and work and has pushed us to our limits. The past seven months have been incredibly difficult for all of us, as we deal with family members out of work, children at home instead of school, new and extra sanitary procedures at work, and of course, sickness and death caused by COVID-19. We don’t know what the road ahead holds, but we can promise one thing will stay the same: Local 7 will keep fighting for you.

Despite the darkness of the last seven months, we have won victories on behalf of Colorado’s working families. This summer we successfully pushed the Colorado legislature to pass The Healthy Families and Workplaces Act, SB 20-205, which guarantees paid sick leave for workers (starting in January 2021). More specifically, employers must give employees one hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked, up to a maximum of 48 hours per year. This act also prohibits employers from taking action against an employee who uses their sick leave. (See page 26).

The Whistleblower Protection Act, HB 20-1215, provides protection for employees who report concerns about hazardous conditions at work. This will allow each of us to do our part to protect ourselves, our co-workers, and our community, without fear of losing our jobs or being punished. In the current health crisis, we all must embrace the ‘if you see something, say something’ mentality. We all must do our part to protect our workplaces, and now thanks to Local 7, you will be legally safe from retribution. (See page 27).

We are a Union that believes in science over fiction. That is why we pushed for a state-wide mask mandate, because every medical professional will tell you it's the best way to keep one another healthy. For our healthcare workers, we demanded adequate PPE to protect them on the frontlines. They are our community’s last line of defense against the virus and are the epitome of self-sacrifice.

We also believe that you have the right to fair compensation and benefits. It is not easy to work during these challenging times. For those working at King Soopers and City Market, we pushed the Company for extra compensation for your brave efforts and we were able to secure a bonus compensation, that was later called Hero Pay. For those employees working in Albertsons and Safeway Stores, a $2/hour bonus was given to front- line essential workers. While this bonus was stripped away from employees’ paychecks in May, our Union was able to secure this bonus for our members and other grocery workers for multiple months.

As employers like JBS attempt to raise health care premiums to pay for their reckless behavior, or trick you into accepting “raises” that lock you into nothing more than $2 over five years, we continue to have your back. And for our sisters and brothers on the frontlines in retail, dealing with the general public in the midst of a pandemic, we will continue to fight on your behalf for Hero and Appreciation Pay. We remain committed to fighting for you to be paid for your sacrifice and ask that everyone support us in this effort by texting Hazard Pay to 23396. We are far from done.

We still have obstacles ahead of us, and the pandemic unfortunately is far from over, but we must continue to stand together as brothers and sisters. This year has exposed just how essential all of you are. You are essential to your families, you are essential to your communities, and you are essential to your country. We will not stop fighting together until everyone recognizes us as Essential Heroes.

UFCW Local 7, responded to the $15,615 fine on JBS by protesting at the Denver OSHA Headquarters for insufficient protection of our members during the COVID-19 pandemic. This fine from OSHA comes seven months, and seven deaths, too late!

President Kim Cordova issued the following statement: "A $15,000 ‘penalty’ from OSHA is nothing to a large company like JBS. In fact, it only incentivizes the company to continue endangering its employees. The government has officially failed our members, the more than 3,000 workers at JBS Greeley, who have protected the food supply chain while our communities quarantined during the pandemic. It is immoral and unethical, but in the current Administration, unfortunately not illegal, that OSHA waited seven months to investigate the unsafe working conditions that led to this deadly outbreak. Because of this failure, JBS Greeley is the site of the most meat processing plant worker deaths in the nation due to Covid-19.

“Many of our members, including the families of the deceased, are still struggling to overcome the devastating consequences from JBS’ inaction and negligence. The families of our members who died are currently overwhelmed, not only with insurmountable grief, but also the financial hardship of growing medical bills due to JBS' slow and inadequate response.

“OSHA obviously cannot interview the dead, but could have at least spoken to the families of the dead, their co-workers, and community members who witnessed our members' plight firsthand. Even though our Union provided mountains of evidence and names of willing witnesses, OSHA reached out to very few, with the excuse of ‘capacity issues.’

“Our workers did not stop when our country did, and for that they are Essential Heroes. They were left unprotected by our government and by JBS, a company that cared more about profits than the lives of those that make those profits possible.

“The Union will not give up our fight for better conditions for our members working in the plant, for our members still struggling to recover physically and financially from this virus, and for the families of those we lost.

"Our members share a common goal with JBS, federal, state and local authorities: to ensure that the plant continues to function to protect the food supply chain and to protect jobs, but it must be done in a way that protects the workers so no one else has to get sick or die. That is why we continue to demand verifiable, enforceable safety laws from OSHA, affordable health care in case anyone else gets sick, and hazard pay for workers during this pandemic. In addition, we call for steeper penalties for negligent companies instead of the continued attempts from our government officials to shield them from liability.” PAGE 8 VOICE OF 7

Lorenzo began working for King Soopers as a clerk in 1974 and later was promoted to a meat cutter, which he excelled at for more than 20 years. Having worked in the stores as a meat cutter for both King Soopers and Safeway as well a having been a Union Steward, past Board member, Union e Packing House Director, Lorenzo was immersed in various margins of the labor movement.

One of his major contributions was organizing a meat plant, Monfort, in Greeley, Colorado in 1997 where he organized over 300 Spanish-speaking families into a worker's union.

He served as Union Steward and Picket Line Captain at King during the 1987 strike at the old store 54 at Villa Italia on Wad h keeping spirits when workers were on the street fighting just to keep what they had. Lorenzo wrote poems and songs for all to chant as well as always had a riddle or two up his sleeve. VOLUME 1 ISSUE 5 PAGE 13

Retirement is the time of your life, For you to be all that you planned to be. To live life for the moment, And to live happy, wild, and free. — Dave Erhard

Notice to Employees Subject to Union Security Clauses As employees working under UFCW contracts containing union security clauses you are required, as a condition of employment, to pay dues or fees to the union. This is the only obligation under such union security clauses. Individuals who are members pay dues while individuals who are nonmembers pay an equivalent fee. This fee, which is authorized by law, is your fair share of sus- taining your union’s broad range of programs in support of you and your co-workers, but nonmembers may file objections to funding expenditures that are non-germane to the collective bargain- ing process and thereby only be obligated to pay fees representing expenditures germane to the collective bargaining process. Individuals who choose to file such objections should advise their local union or other collective bargaining representatives in writing at its business address and request a description of the procedures which must be followed and to obtain further information as to how these fees are calculated.

In considering these matters, though, you should be aware that choosing to be a nonmember fee payer means you would not have the right to vote on the terms of your contract; the right to participate in the development of contract proposals; the right to nominate and vote for officers of the local union; the right to attend the International Convention as a delegate; the right to participate in strike votes; and the right to numerous other benefits and discounts available to members only.

The most important job right you can have is the right to collective bargaining. Because all employees negotiate together through the union, those represented by the union receive higher wages and better benefits than those in non-union facilities doing similar jobs. Strength in numbers makes this possible. The stronger your union, the better your contract.

Do not take yourself out of the most important process and weaken your union. Individuals who nevertheless elect to be nonmember fee payers may object to funding expenditures non-germane to the collective bargaining process. Examples of expenditures germane to the collective bargaining process are those made for negotiation, enforcement and administration of collective bar- gaining agreements; meetings with employer and union representatives; proceedings on behalf of workers under the grievance procedure, including arbitration; servicing; organizing in competi- tive markets; internal union administration; and other matters related to the above activities. Examples of expenditures non-germane to the collective bargaining process are those made for political purposes; for general community service; for organizing in non-competitive markets; for lobbying activities; for members only benefits; and for certain affiliation costs.

Robert Bernard Elliott was born in 1949 in Denver, Colorado. His parents were Veronica (Voney DeVany) and Lloyd Elliott of Lakewood and Georgetown, Colorado. As a boy Rob had a wide ranging curiosity which led him to be a life time avid reader. Rob loved to build airplanes, boats, and many other small things from match sticks. His parents eventually turned to providing Rob with toothpicks because they were constantly out of matches when they needed them most. Rob enjoyed riding his bike all over town with much more freedom than most kids have nowadays. Every ditch, pond, and marsh provided endless adventures. Rob loved spending time with his siblings camping, fishing, picnicking, and spending time outdoors. Not knowing what he wanted to do with the rest of his life, Rob enlisted in the US Army in November 1967 where he served two tours in Vietnam during the war. Rob re- turned home to go to college, studying Psychology and Sociology at Metropolitan State Col- lege in Denver where he met the love of his life, Beverly Sams. Rob and Bev married in August 1972 and had three wonderful children. After graduating, Rob became very active in the United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 7 for 30 years. He was an Organizer, Business Representative, Spokesperson for Public Relations and the Editor for the Voice of 7 newspaper. He retired in Grand Junction, Colorado where he went back to his childhood hobby of building his Toothpick Airforce. After years of teaching his children, their friends and other neighborhood children how to build and fly toothpick airplanes, Rob authored and published three books on the subject. These came to the attention of the Centennial of Flight Committee, NASA education, and Dare County, North Carolina School District who invited Rob to participate in the National 100th Anniversary of the Wright Brothers cel- ebration of Flight, in Kitty Hawk, N.C. in December 2003. Rob worked and lived for his family. He enjoyed his two sons and a daughter. They loved to travel and seek adventures all over the US and internationally. He was very proud of his chil- dren, their families, and their personal accomplishments. Rob was blessed with six amazing grandchildren. Rob also volun- teered over ten years of service to the Museums of Western Colorado in many different capacities. He was recently honored with the 2019 Museum Service Award. Family and friends meant the world to Rob. He kept his sense of humor and stayed very positive about life until his last breath. At 69, Rob passed away from cancer April 6, 2019 at HopeWest Hospice Care Center. Robert is survived by his wife, Beverly; sons, James H. (Beth) Elliott, and Patrick L. (Chelsey) Elliott; daughter, Jackie (Erich) Littlepage; brothers, Thomas G. (Ellen) Elliott, and Edward (Sue) Elliott; sisters, Sister Kathleen Elliott, Eliz- abeth Bubblitz and Patricia Eilts; and six grandchildren.

Barbara Jean McMillan of Lakewood, CO was born on June 5, 1941 and passed away on May 23, 2020 at the age of 78. Barbara loved the outdoors and had a wonderful childhood making memories with friends. Her friend Margaret Bradeen recalls her and Barbara selling fishing worms to the fisherman driving up to Monument Lake as children. She doesn’t re- member if they made any money, but they had so much fun that day. Barbara loved riding horses. Her cousin Judy Christensen remembers visiting her in Stonewall. When Barbara came down the road to greet them, she was on a beautiful Palomino horse and she was dressed like a rodeo queen. Barbara lived her life to the fullest in everything she did. She was always the life of the party. Barbara’s heart was committed to the members of United Food and Commercial Workers for most of her life. Barbara was a well known Union Rep- resentative that was a leader not a follower. John Mathewson reflects that she was a shining example of what a Union Representative should be. She loved her members and her mem- bers loved her. Barbara made lifelong friends with her members at Union conferences and Union BBQ’s. Barbara loved making friends - no one was considered a stranger to Barbara. Barbara loved her daughters and her grandkids. She was always so proud of her family. She also absolutely adored her moth- er who she had the opportunity to care for at the end of her mother’s life. Barbara is survived by her children Barbara Jean (Steve) Hughes and Julie Owens; grandchildren Nicole Hughes, Michael Hughes, Madison Hughes, Geoff Boen, Eric Boen, and Preston Boen. She is preceded in death by her parents Jim and Stella (Vallejos) Cordova and Joe Owens. PAGE 18 VOICE OF 7

The Open Enrollment Period to Sign Up for 2021 Health Benefit Plan Coverage Will Take Place in October. Open Enrollment for Rocky Mountain UFCW Unions & Employers Health Benefit Plan coverage in 2021 will take place from October 1st - October 31st this year. Open Enrollment is your opportunity to review your current benefit coverage and elect the coverage you want for next year. You can start, continue, change or end your coverage, add or remove dependents, or update your life insurance beneficiary designation. Your options will be explained—what plans are available and what you need to do—in the enrollment packet you will receive in the mail. The elections you make during Open Enrollment will be effective January 1, 2021. Your next opportunity to make changes will be during next year’s Open Enrollment, for coverage effective January 1, 2022 (subject to your HIPAA special enrollment rights).  Review your current coverage and then make your decisions for 2021. The Plan will send you a letter that will come before your enrollment packet. The letter will show your current coverage and your covered dependents. Review the letter before you decide on your 2021 coverage. If you notice that one of your dependents who has coverage under Kaiser is not listed in the letter, please contact the Plan Office immediately. Unless you notify the Plan Office to the contrary, you are certifying that the dependents listed in the letter qualify as eligible dependents under the Plan.  If you are enrolling for the first time or want to change your coverage or the dependents you cover, you must enroll during Open Enrollment.  If you do not want to make any changes to your coverage election of the PPO or HMO option and you do not want to make any changes to the dependents you cover, you only need to complete the steps related to verifying your spouse’s coverage (see below), if you are covering your spouse. If you are not covering your spouse, you don’t need to do anything. The Plan will automatically continue your current coverage option and your weekly employee deductions in 2021. Your coverage will be subject to the terms and conditions, including any modifications to the Plan Options, approved by the Trustees and effective January 1, 2021.  Confirm your life insurance beneficiary designation. Your designated beneficiary is the last named beneficiary on file with the Plan Office. You may change your beneficiary at any time by contacting the Plan Office or visiting the Plan’s web site. Once you designate or update a beneficiary, the designation is effective as of the date the notice is provided. If you do not designate a beneficiary or your beneficiary is not living at the time of your death, payment will be made in accordance with the provisions of the contract with the insurer. Remember to keep your beneficiary designation current by confirming or updating it each year during enrollment, or after a life event such as marriage, divorce, or the birth of your child. Make sure that the Plan Office has your current address on file so you receive your enrollment materials on a timely basis. If you have any questions, please call the Plan Office at 303-430-9334 or 800-527-1647.

Are You Enrolling Your Spouse for Plan Coverage as a Dependent? If you want to continue coverage for your spouse, you must complete a Spousal Verification Form (included with your enrollment packet). If your spouse was not enrolled in the Plan in 2020 but you will be enrolling your spouse for Plan coverage in 2021, you must complete an Enrollment Form and the Spousal Verification Form included with your enrollment packet. VOLUME 1 ISSUE 5 PAGE 21

Please remember that you must verify your spouse’s eligibility for other coverage, every year, regardless of whether your spouse is currently or was ever covered by the Plan, if you want your spouse to have coverage through the Plan in the following year.

If your spouse is eligible for coverage under his/her employer-sponsored plan, but elects not to enroll in that plan, an additional $23.08 weekly co-premium deduction is currently required. To avoid this additional weekly co-premium deduction, your spouse must be enrolled in his/her employer-sponsored plan. Otherwise, your weekly co-premium deduction will include this additional $23.08. This amount will continue to be deducted until your spouse enrolls in the employer-sponsored plan available to him/her or your spouse is no longer working or the employer is no longer providing coverage.

COMPLETE A HEALTH ASSESSMENT! REDUCE YOUR MONTHLY CO-PREMIUMS FOR 2021 If you complete a Health Assessment before December 4, 2020, you will receive a $5 monthly reduction in your employee co-premium effective January 1, 2021, for the entire year. If you and your covered spouse both complete Health Assessments, you will receive a $10 monthly reduction.

The co-premium reduction is offered to Active participants and their covered spouses who elect 2021 coverage under either the PPO or HMO Medical Plan Option offered through the Health Benefit Plan and who complete a Health Assessment on or before December 4, 2020.

Remember: If you do not complete a Health Assessment, you will pay the full co-premium effective January 1, 2021 - even if you completed a Health Assessment and your co-premium was reduced in 2020.

Partial completion of the Health Assessment will not result in the co-premium reduction.

Pre-65 and non-Medicare retirees may complete Health Assessments, but are not eligible for premium reductions. Look for more information in your Enrollment Guide.

All across the country, corporations and the ultra-wealthy are funneling unprecedented amounts of money into our political system. Their goal is to create an unbalanced and unfair economy where wages are as low as possible and profits replace respect for the workers that created them. The Active Ballot Club (ABC) seeks to level the playing field by bringing together thousands of workers to ensure our political concerns are heard.

The ABC enables UFCW Local 7 to fight for government and laws (such as the below amazing laws we fought hard for that went into effect this year) that support issues important our membership. With these funds we are able to support legislation and politicians who support workers like us. Corporations and billionaires spend millions to make laws work for them, but you can help fight for laws that are fair for all people who work for a living.

VOLUME 1 ISSUE 5 PAGE 27

Instead of a billionaire writing one giant check, the ABC works when tens of thousands of workers from all over the country give a small amount EVERY WEEK. There is power in numbers and everyone’s dollars add up to help promote laws and rules that work for working people. If you sign up, a small contribution will be withheld from your check and combined with everyone else’s dollars to fight for worker’s rights. Let’s put the government to work for working Americans. Our elected officials and laws should focus on the needs of working families. You can help make that happen. Join the Active Ballot Club today! Contact your Union Representative to join! The Active Ballot Club turns pocket change into big change for working families by fighting for:  Increasing the minimum wage  Overtime pay  Immigration reform  Paid sick leave  Safe line speeds at packing houses  Paid Family Medical Leave  Equal pay for equal work  Unemployment insurance PAGE 28 VOICE OF 7

No one should have to choose between paying bills or caring for a loved one; between being an employee or a caregiver.

A Better Life for Colorado Families: Vote Yes on 118 IT’S OFFICIAL.

Eighty percent of Coloradans don’t have access to paid family and WE’RE VOTING medical leave. That means too many working class Coloradans have faced the choice between their health and a paycheck. The last seven months has only reinforced how important it is to have the ability to take time off from work without worrying whether or not that shift is the difference being making or missing a rent payment. It doesn't matter if it’s to care for a newborn baby or a seriously ill loved one, no one should have to risk their financial health to take care of their physical health.

We know this is not an issue that will fix itself. As long as there are pennies to be pinched, corporate interests will try and save every dollar they can to achieve record profits. That is why we are glad that this November paid family leave will be on the ballot.

This election, we are standing in solidarity with groups across Colorado to vote YES on 118. Together we can create a stronger Colorado, one where the economy is protected from the spread of serious diseases, and where our families and communities are able to thrive and support one another. As part of the Union family we know how important looking out for one another is, and we want to ensure hard-working Coloradoans have the ability to care for their loved ones without fear of losing their job.

Join us in voting for Proposition 118, a pro-family measure that will make life better for all Coloradans. #Yeson118

A paid family and medical leave program will ensure that as we rebuild Colorado’s economy, it will be ready to keep Colorado’s people, communities, and workplaces healthy and safe.

Colorado voters overwhelmingly support paid family and medical leave. Currently, 2.6 million Coloradans would benefit from the program. Nothing is more important than family. At some point, nearly everyone will need to take time to care for themselves, a new child, or a seriously ill family member. Coloradans should not have to choose between paying their bills and taking care of their seriously ill family members or having a baby. Eight states, including Oregon, Washington, and Connecticut, have passed similar paid family and medical leave programs. These programs have had lower than expected costs, increased employee retention and have boosted morale.

 Up to 12 weeks of leave (additional 4 weeks for qualifying pregnancy or childbirth complications)

 Small businesses with fewer than 10 employees are exempt from paying employer premium

 Employers and employees split 50/50 a contribution of .9% of employee wage (.45% each). Employers can choose to pay up to 100%

 State and local governments are included, local governments including school districts can choose to opt-out

 Workers are eligible for leave after earning $2,500 in wages (same as unemployment insurance). Worker’s jobs are pro- tected after 180 days of employment

 Private plans are allowed if they meet minimum requirements

 Premiums begin in January 2023

 Low-income workers (who make up to 50% of the state average weekly) receive 90% of their pay during time off. The maximum weekly benefit begins at $1,100, then adjusts to 90% of state average weekly wage. PAGE 30 VOICE OF 7

These concerns are what we believe to be highly dangerous and life threatening safety conditions that we observe in many stores. These issues appear to be widespread, serious and in clear violation of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) as well as the National Fire Protection Association Code and applicable fire codes.

Some unsafe and highly dangerous conditions that have been observed are:

Fire exits blocked, electrical boxes and circuit breaker panels blocked, pallets stacked higher than six (6) feet, double stacked water pallets, soda pallets stacked as high as the ceiling, wooden and plastic pallets stacked to the ceiling, overloaded pallets, pallets improperly packaged or unsupported which were literally toppling over, over stacking of merchandise in a clearly unsafe manner, over loading of six wheelers, issues with the meat lugs, unsecure containers for hypodermic needles and a variety of other conditions which are unquestionably unsafe for our members. We also were made aware that not all employees who are required to use the hand jacks and power jacks are properly trained and certified.

In 2010, a retail grocery employee working in the back room of a store was crushed by falling pallets of bottled water. Five days after the accident the employee died. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) investigated the accident. Each of the double stacked pallets of water contained 72 cases of 24 half-liter bottles. Palletized bottled water is especially dangerous because of the high volume moved, heavy weight involved and increasingly thin plastic causing cases to be unstable. The limited amount of space in some of the back rooms often leads to water or other heavy unstable product being stocked higher than safety permits.

You and your fellow members have protected rights under OSHA and the NLRA with regard to unsafe working conditions. And clearly reporting the same, or even refusing to work in what you believe in reasonable good faith, are immediate and substantially unsafe conditions, where you may suffer risk of serious physical injury or death, are protected under both of these federal statutes. However, you can only refuse to do that work if you have brought the unsafe condition to the attention of the Company and it has refused to remedy the situation.

It has also come to our attention that the Company may be requiring workers to fill out safety documents such as sweep logs, safety 360 forms and other documents that would verify the store or work area is safe without workers actually having knowledge or an opportunity to perform the sweep or the safety check. The Company cannot require workers to falsify documents or issue discipline for refusing to falsify a document. The Company cannot require you to falsify a document.

We urge you to contact your store management immediately if you observe unsafe working conditions and document your contact. In addition, please contact your Union Representative or you may also anonymously notify us by visiting http://ufcw7.org/safety-hotline/ and leaving us your store # as well as a description of the safety concerns.

PACKING JBS made a proposal for UFCW Local 7 to extend the current contract for 5 years. Members walked off the job on July 10, 2020 due to the unreasonable and unwarranted contract offer. Production for Saturday, July 11, 2020 was canceled. We had a meeting with members on Sunday, July 12, 2020 to explain the offer and notified the membership of the scheduled meeting with the company for Monday, July 13, 2020. Our committee recommended that the offer not be voted. The deadline that the company forced upon us expired while the Union stood strong to not accept their offer. Ultimately, the workers still received the $1.85 raise JBS they proposed without extending their contract.

Denver Post Guest Commentary: Want Racial Justice? Start With Your Employees

By KIM CORDOVA | June 23, 2020 at 6:02 a.m.

As a woman of color who worked in retail grocery and the labor movement for 35 years, I’m angered by the opportunistic, half-hearted, and short-term responses by companies to address the racial disparities deeply woven into our nation.

The international protests following the death of George Floyd have finally turned the spotlight toward police and criminal justice reform. While the labor movement abhors racially motivated violence, we believe that racism cannot be cured if the systemic inequities in our economy are not addressed.

Recently, various corporations announced they will pour millions of dollars into civil rights organizations. Nicole Trujillio, center, is hugged Panicked executives across corporate America have asked their marketing gurus: “How do we follow the anti- by a family friend at the memorial racist national sentiment in a way that will resonate with customers (and boost profits)? site (honoring her brother Randy Narvaez, Karen Haws and James Kroger, one of the biggest U.S. grocers making record profits during the pandemic, announced to their “Black McKay, three union members who associates, customers and allies” a $5 million donation toward “improving diversity, equity and inclusion,” worked at local grocery stores and maintaining it’s “committed to doing better as a company to support racial equity and justice.” died of COVID-19) outside of the King Soopers on 9th Avenue and Ironically, Kroger and Safeway just canceled the $2-an-hour bonus for the essential workers who risk their Corona Street in Denver on Sun- health to keep stores running, the company rich, and communities fed. This while the CEO Rodney McMullen day, June 14, 2020. received a 21% compensation increase making his total compensation more than $14 million. Rachel Ellis, The Denver Post This pay elimination hit our 20,000 grocery members in Colorado and Wyoming particularly hard as they mourn the loss of three Kroger employ- ees to COVID-19. Currently, more than 90 Kroger and over 20 Safeway UFCW7 employees are COVID-19 positive.

Kroger’s donation is a minuscule step toward racial equity. Truly supporting equity starts with supporting your own people financially, and by extension their families and communities.

To be clear, donations to well-deserving civil rights organizations are important. Yet, as we watch corporate America make these donations, it begs the following question: “Where was this cash when their own employees, many of whom are low wage workers and people of color, were in need?”

Responding to national crises with splashy announcements will not fix the systemic issues of racial inequity, nor exonerate corporate America from its part in it. Corporations should ask themselves: “Are most of our executives and board white males, while most of our low wage workers people of color and women?”

The uncomfortable truth in America is that the answer to these questions is most likely yes.

To break the cycle of racism, we must address the economic imbalances in our workplace and economy that fuel a broken system, crippling Black and Brown families’ ability to get ahead, devasting minority communities, and even killing us. Action is needed to alleviate racial inequities. We cannot return to business as usual.

In just three months I’ve witnessed over 400 UFCW7 members get sick and many die because their employers failed to adequately protect them. Of our nine deceased members, eight were people of color and one was a white woman with Down Syndrome. Recent national data shows deaths from COVID-19 are nearly two times greater for African-Americans than would be expected based on the national population. And, in 42 states plus D.C., Latinos make up a greater share of confirmed cases than their share of the population.

Blacks Lives Do Matter. We reject police brutality. But the economic existence of African Americans and Latinos, who continue to work tirelessly as the backbone of the U.S. economy, matters as well. We call on all businesses and the government to commit to policies that will actively disrupt racist and classist practices, such as not ensuring basic workplace safety, living wages, and healthcare. This is the first step toward ensuring human dignity for all Americans.

George Floyd’s death and the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on working people sends a clear message to communities of color: your life is worth less. We are dying at the hands of police and racist vigilantes. But we are also dying because we must work while sick, because we cannot afford healthcare, and because our employers do not implement the most basic public health guidelines.

It is time for corporate America to acknowledge its role perpetuating an inequitable and racist economic system, then take real action implementing systemic change across the workplace. VOLUME 1 ISSUE 5 PAGE 35

Greeley Tribune Guest Commentary: JBS’ Essential Workers Are Not Disposable

By KIM CORDOVA | August 2, 2020 at 6:30 a.m.

There is a common belief in the US that unsafe and abusive sweatshops only exist in developing nations. These workplaces are depicted as unsanitary plants, with workers from vulnerable communities crammed into small spaces in extreme temperatures, toiling long hours for low pay. Like most American’s ancestors, many immigrants and refugees come to the US, and to Colorado, in search of better jobs, lives and to fulfill the American Dream.

Unfortunately, the last five months have been a horrific nightmare for our JBS workers in Greeley, over 70% of which are racial and ethnic minorities from countries as close as Mexico to as far as Myanmar and the Congo. With over 300 confirmed cases of COVID-19, JBS’ continued lack of workplace safety measures has tragically rendered the plant, and Greeley, into an infamous hotspot. JBS’ repeated and studied contempt to implement basic health measures, after incessant requests by our Kim Cordova, President union, may very well have led to the death of six of our members. It took the threat of a complete of UFCW Local 7, shutdown of the plant to grudgingly move JBS towards some compliance with even the most elementary represents 3,000 members measures to contain the spread of the virus. Even now, JBS has seen a recent outbreak among five of its in meat packing at JBS in own interns. Greeley, Colorado, and 25,000 members in As long as workers continue to be in danger at the plant, it is hard to consider the recent wage increase Colorado and Wyoming in of $1.85 per hour as a victory for UFCW Local 7. Extra income means nothing if you are not alive to food processing, meat spend it. Our members are courageous and have often spoken out about the situation at the plant, packing, agriculture, including unsanitary working conditions, lack of adequate drinking water, racial discrimination, threats grocery, and health care. of violence, physical assault, lack of PPE and proper health screenings and testing, among others.

Where have our government authorities been? Hiding behind bureaucratic inaction, inertia, and doublespeak, they may have contributed to these six deaths, and those of our members’ relatives who caught COVID-19 from JBS workers. Like the drunken son whose behavior his mother must cover-up, the CDC, OSHA, the Department of Agriculture, the Office of Governor Polis, the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment (CDPHE), and the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment, have all enabled JBS’ reckless behavior by minimizing the drastic action which needed to be taken, and that continues to endanger Black and Brown workers. And as a result, these entities have wittingly or unwittingly contributed to the systemic racism right here in our backyard.

Every level of government has failed our members at JBS. UFCW Local 7 has repeatedly reported the detrimental and deliberate way that JBS is conducting its business. For example, after reporting the current unsafe conditions at the plant this week, I was told by a CDPHE employee that the agency had no jurisdiction over JBS. Excuse me? It also took seven people dying for OSHA to come to the plant to investigate. Unfortunately, OSHA cannot interview our six dead members or the JBS corporate employee who died from COVID-19.

Who is supposed to bear the brunt of this willful inaction by our elected officials and civil servants? The low-wage Black and Brown essential workers that put their lives at risk to feed us? The last four months in Greeley have shown the country that even at work, Black and Brown Lives Don’t Seem to Matter to this company and those who swore an oath to protect us.

JBS’ workers might be essential, but that does not make them sacrificial. All we are asking JBS—the biggest meat processing company in the world— is to forego a small portion of its enormous profits in order to fairly compensate workers for risking their lives, and to provide basic protections for workers’ health and safety. We should all be appalled that a foreign company like JBS received $78 million dollars of federal tax dollars last year in a agricultural bail-out bill to allegedly support agricultural jobs and economy. The Greeley plant, 11 miles from its US headquarters, leads the nation in the highest incidence of COVID-19 deaths.

Next time you bite into a burger, we hope you say a quick prayer of thanks to the Black and Brown men and women who battled and died from COVID-19 because JBS and the government couldn’t be bothered enough to truly protect them. Instead, they just give lip service about plant safety. To them, protecting profits, campaign contributions, and local charitable donations all appear to tip the scale much more than human life, and the health and wellbeing of the Greeley community. UFCW Local 7 will continue to demand that more be done to protect our 3,000 members at JBS Greeley. We demand that Colorado’s Attorney General Philip Weiser open an investigation to the human tragedies and racial discrimination past and present occurring at JBS. Our work, and that of our government, is far from over. VOICE OF 7
