UFCW Local 555 to hold job actions at Fred Meyer stores

United Food and Commercial Workers Local 555 will hold a “Freedom Solidarity Shop Week” July 5-12 at various Fred Meyer stores to support non-food employees who have been bargaining for months for a new contract.

The Freedom Shop will run from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.

Supporters are asked to buy nonperishable items during that time, while letting non-food employees know they have community backing. Purchases will be donated to local food banks.

Freedom Shop events will take place July 8 at the Portland Interstate Fred Meyer, 7404 N. Interstate; and July 9 at Beaverton Fred Meyer, 11425 SW Beaverton-Hillsdale Hwy.
