don't know what they pay now, but my big brother used to work there and the pay was ok, but that was b4 the strike...just b careful...they aren't fair to their employees on other things OTHER than pay...they are struggling to fight low-budget stores like Walmart and Food 4 Less, so they give all the customers the rights, even when a customer comes in to steal (which is what happened in my brothers case)...the customer stole a beer, got arrested, but eventually sued for his 'product' back, and the company gave him a monetary settlement and sent my brother to customer service training as part of the settlement......what the???

Within the last year or so there was a new contract done with the Union. Benefits are not available until after a year of service, with your dependents, if any, getting benefits after 18 months. The pay is not what it used to be in the grocery business. It has changed drastically within the last few years. I know many checkers who have been there for years and still only get 24-32 hours a week. Nobody but management, supervisors, and a few others are even considered full time. They recently forced higher paid key carriers (supervisors) to either take a dramatic pay cut or get laid off. Safeway is making more money than ever, and screwing thier employees at every possible turn. Unless youve been there for a long time, It isnt worth it anymore.
