SUEZ Agawam – UFCW Local 1459

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.

COVID-19 Update for SUEZ Agawam
SUEZ Agawam: signed an MOA with Company to implement 12 hour shifts. MOA allows for two groups, staggered schedules of 3 or 4 days per week meaning 36 hours one week, 48 the next. OT paid after 40. Both shifts are 6 to 6.
COVID-19 Update for SUEZ Agawam
SUEZ, Agawam: Will start 12 hour shifts on Friday for operators and mechanics. This is a change from 8 hour shifts. MOA is pending on the particulars.
COVID-19 Update for SUEZ Agawam
SUEZ Agawam. This is more complicated than Holyoke. They have an emergency preparedness plan and are making provisions to run the plant from inside with a skeleton crew that never leaves the plant. Shifts would be for two weeks. Others would self-quarantine at home until their rotation comes up. There has been no discussion of compensation as I expect a lot of OT in this location.
