Meijer Members: Get Full-Time with Your Union Contract

updated 5/16/24

We know you work hard to get ahead and your union membership can help you. Your UFCW 227 union contract can help you have a full-time job if you want one. It is one of the many ways our union makes work better.

Article 7, Section 4 of your union contract says that “when a part-time employee averages more than 36 hours per week for two consecutive individual accounting quarters in one department, classification and in any single unit, they shall be awarded full-time status.”

You have 10 days to claim a full-time job from the end of the accounting quarter date. Your claim must be in writing and given to the Store Director.

To get credit for an average of 36 hours per week, only hours actually worked will count. Any time spent replacing another employee on the schedule who is on approved leave of absence or was on the posted schedule will not be counted toward your average hours.
