Boycott Smart & Final and Its Parent Company Chedraui!

Carlos Smith, CEO, Chedraui USA

Members of Teamsters Local 630 at two Chedraui-owned Smart & Final grocery store warehouses in Southern California were forced to strike in protest of unfair labor practices and to demand the company negotiate a first contract in good faith.

More than 600 workers at Smart & Final warehouses in Commerce and Riverside, Calif., voted to join the Teamsters earlier this year. In both elections, workers overcame vicious anti-union campaigns by management to win strong representation with Local 630.

But Smart & Final continued to violate the law even after workers voted to unionize. The company announced it will terminate unionized employees, moving their work to a new warehouse, and forcing existing workers to reapply if they want jobs at the new site — likely offering much lower wages and fewer benefits.

Sign the petition to let Chedraui USA’s CEO Carlos Smith know you stand with Teamsters fighting for their rights and a strong union contract!

We are writing in solidarity with the workforce at Chedraui USA and to express our serious concerns with the ongoing labor issues at your company.

Instead of giving workers in California the respect and dignity they deserve, it has come to our attention that Chedraui and its Smart & Final operations want to close two unionized warehouses, terminate all unionized workers, and force long-time employees to reapply for their jobs at a new facility.

We demand that Chedraui and Smart & Final guarantee these workers’ jobs with fair wages and a strong Teamsters contract. Chedraui and Smart & Final must stop interfering with workers’ rights.

We plan to boycott your stores and we will not shop at Smart & Final until you stop violating the law, remedy your unfair labor practices, and negotiate with the Teamsters in good faith for a first contract.
