We have made progress on issues that you identified, showing what we can accomplish together without the need for a union. Here are some of the improvements we have made as a result of working together based on your feedback from the last several weeks:
Feedback/Suggestion | Action | Status / Completion Date |
|---|---|---|
Access to policies | Provided instructions at computer in transportation breakroom for associates to access policies electronically 24/7 | Completed |
Site Leadership Access – management area locked during the day | 2nd floor leadership/HR space will be accessible to all employees 8a-5p; after 5p associates can have a leader swipe them in.
| Completed |
Poorly wrapped/stacked pallets in grocery | Increased supervisor audits of pallets on the dock | Completed |
HR access for transportation team | Dayshift HR Generalist Jennifer Melvin’s office will be in transportation moving forward, with additional night shift support increased. | Completed |
Inoperable dock and door at store 1274 | Provided feedback to Food Lion leadership and they have advised us that construction started 9/6 for repairs. | In Progress |
Concerns with Load diagrams | Continuing to review overall processes for load diagrams. Effective 8/26 (grocery) and 8/27 (perishable), loads will have load tags on all four sides of the pallet, making it easier to identify. | In Progress |
Extended wait times for loads | Wait times are caused by delays in the warehouse, and additional labor will help to resolve this. Therefore, we brought in additional 3rd party labor support in the warehouse beginning the week of 8/26. | In Progress |
Schedule | The standard Winter/Fall rebid is scheduled for October 1st and October 2nd, with the new schedule to begin October 6th. The first draft of the proposed schedule was posted on September 20th. | In Progress |
We have made these changes based on direct input from associates. Working together without a union allows us to move quickly and efficiently to address your needs.
