The Hazard Pay is gone. The Hazard is not!

After months of negotiating to keep hazard pay beyond July 4^th, Stop and Shop announced they will discontinue the hazard pay premium for all employees despite the growing number of COVID-19 infection cases around the country.

Speaking Together We Can Stand Up for Our Essential Grocery Workers:

Our members continue to put their health and safety on the line in exchange for regular pay only.
Stop and Shop continues to rake in millions of dollars in profit during the pandemic, yet they refuse to share the profits with its loyal employees.
Masks, social distancing and other safety measures are still in effect and so should the hazard pay.
