Bargaining Picks Up Speed
We embarked on the second and third days of bargaining on January 14th and 15th of the new year with Seyd, following up on the exchange of proposals at the original start date of October 24, 2025.

“We did not make much progress in October, but the speed picked up in January,” said Chris O’Halloran, Executive Director for UFCW Local 401. “The employer focused on the non-monetary proposals, and did not want to deal with any issue that would improve compensation for their workers.”
Your Union’s negotiating committee members from Coliseum (see below) were joined by observers from 2 other FreshCo’s in Edmonton.
- Tyler Larson – Meat Clerk
- Connie Radcliffe – Front End
- Sohni Malhotra – Front End
- Gina Lipon – Grocery Clerk
- Rick Schnieder – UFCW Local 401
- Chris O’Halloran – UFCW Local 401
