I think all the grocery stores in the gorge and Ptown are union.. Their all the same union as us at Rosauers.
I guess it all depends for what grocery store you work for and or how willing you are.
I started as courtesy clerk and then 6 months later moved onto Night crew and worked alot of over time to get through my scales.. Pay is okay at 14.35 and pretty good benifits. All I pay is my 60 dollar monthly union due and that covers my health insurance.H22 Prelude VTEC 92-96 200 161 10.6:1 87 90 DOHC VTEC 2157 JDM

#3 Top foods pays the lowest of any store in the state.
i would like to get to the seafood dept. and then to meat but i cant seem to ever get an application the the manager... he finds me says he has an opening, i apply and then he gets mad at me because he never got my app.
it doesn't pay bad. scale tops out at 17.95 an hour and i think close to 21.00 in the meat dept.
oh and before anyone says it. i could go up front and become a checker. i would lose about 20 hours a week and be making even less money and take forever to get to 1040 hours for a raise

yeah but you dont want a safeway job, it blows they try to screw you when they get the chance too. i was working only two weeks as a checker, but then i got moved into bakery i was there for like 2 month and then produce wanted me, i asked the bakery manager if i could go to produce cause i would make more and i like the hours over there, right after i asked him
he caned me right on the spot and wanted me to still finish the day, i told him to fuck off and then went to the manager of the store and told him my story, he said to bad once im fired im done so yeah, dont work there

And Joe, you cant complain if you havent done your due dilligence...
Well either way dont do your job if you dont like it...
If you do, then try to get into another store with more opportunites....
i dont completely hate my job. im not happy with my new manager at all and i just feel like the whole industry is screwed right now. everyone i talk too who has started semi recently (within the last three years or so) has a similar story to tell me.

Being in the union they can't just fire you like that. Basically the only way you can be fired on the spot is if you were caught stealing, drunk or you hit someone. It takes something pretty serious to get canned like that. Being in the grocery buisness for 11 years I have always heard crappy things about Safeway.
