What JUST FOOD STAFF EMPLOYEES – stand for:
Just Food Co-op employees care about maintaining the integrity of the co-op in providing products that promote a just, healthy, and sustainable community and planet. Co-op employees are the heart of the organization where the "rubber meets the road" as they interact and respond to members' and customers' needs every day. They are the front line for member input. Co-op employees are intelligent, informed, knowledgeable, value driven and committed to the members, each other, and for what the Co-op represents.

The co-op staff are requesting that the board of directors include an employee-selected representative (via democratic process) to actively participate on the search committee for a General Manager. The General Manager influences the working environment and establishes the direction of the co-ops future. Through the years, several of the current staff have worked under various General Managers, some of whom have had a positive impact on the store and some have not. In either case, the employees do not presently have a voice with the board of directors.

By Feb 16 deadline, Please click SIGN NOW and enter your member number in lieu of last name, if you want the board to include an employee selected representative on the search committee for the new General Manager.  

JUST FOOD STAFF EMPLOYEES – Who we are and what we stand for


Just Food Co-op employees care about maintaining the integrity of the co-op in providing products that promote a just, healthy sustainable community.  Co-op employees are the heart of the organization where the "rubber meets the road" as they interact and respond to members' and customers' needs every day.  They are the front line for member input.  Co-op employees are intelligent, knowledgeable and informed, value driven, and they show up every day for the members, for each other and for what the Co-op represents.  


 


STAFF REQUEST the opportunity to participate in decision making that impacts the Co-op, the staff and our members.


Just Food Co-op states they recognize the rights of workers to participatory management.  The co-op staff are requesting from the board of directors, representation of their choosing to actively participate on the search committee for a General Manager.  The General Manager influences the working environment and establishes the direction of the co-ops future.  Through the years, several of the current staff have worked under various General Managers, some of whom have had a positive impact on the store and some have not.  In either case, the employees do not presently have a voice with the board of directors. 


The undersigned Member-owners and customers support having an employee-selected staff on the search committee for a new general manager.  This petition was only word of mouth through the community during a period of one week.  Member confidentiality is honored.

Update #38 years ago
2/16/16 at a store meeting, Dirk and Clark informed employees that the employee survey is completed and they will NOT INCLUDE ANY STAFF other than the new HR manager on the search committee. Thank you for your support with this petition. It will (hopefully) be presented at the board meeting 2/17 at 6pm. You must now be your own voice regarding future direction of the store so use it if you care.
