RICH'S RESPONDS TO OUR UNION EFFORTS WITH A MISLEADING EMAIL
After we launched our union campaign this past Thursday, we have been hard at work talking to many of our coworkers, but today management released an incredibly deceiving response to our efforts.

A message to @RichProducts Catering:
We’re the unionized workers of Rich’s catering and here is our letter to management.

We hope this message will reach you well

Buffalo’s newly unionized Lexington Food Co-op. That’s amazing union member and artist Frances Wisz.

Worker leader Philip Kneitinger said: "Everyone has more of a spring in their step. Everyone's very excited to talk about the provisions in the contract." https://t.co/ks4lX8BFb4

FIRST CONTRACT REACHED 🤝

We are proud of all the hard work put in by our members over the last year!

This contract marks a huge victory for the cooperative movement.

This is proof Workers and Consumers can come together to build a better future!

First Contract with management reached! !! ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏻

Tomorrow, we are meeting with Management for a press conference at our Hertel location to discuss this historic achievement for the cooperative movement!

Buffalo is a union town!

[Lexington Co-op Workers United @LexCoopWU]

We met so many amazing owners while leafletting this past week. The solidarity within the Buffalo community is immense!

[Lexington Co-op Workers United @LexCoopWU]

We are facing difficulties in the bargaining process, and we need customers and owners to help us win our first contract! WE NEED A STRONGER CO-OP NOW

[Richard Bensinger @RichBensinger1]

Lexi is a hero!

Every time I've gone to the Lexington Co-op leading up to the union election, the workers have asked if I have an owner number.

My answer? No - but I will once it's union.

Today, Audie at the Hertel store helped me make good on that promise. Yay @LexCoopWU!

[Lexington Co-op Workers United @LexCoopWU]

WE DID IT! Our landslide 56-20 union victory wouldn't have been possible without the support of the Co-op's foundational building block - the community.

Together we'll all move forward into a brighter future for us all!

[Lexington Co-op Workers United @LexCoopWU]

Good morning! It's union election day at the Lexington Co-op so make sure to wear your buttons when you shop and let the workers know the community supports them!

[Lexington Co-op Workers United @LexCoopWU]

Bargaining surveys have been dropped off at both locations! If you’re a fellow worker, we need your input on what we should bargain for in our first contract negotiation. If you’re a customer, don’t hesitate to ask questions or show support for this exciting step in the process!
