Grocery Workers Rising – Stater Bros. 2025 Updates
February 17, 2025
Attention Stater Bros. Members!
This morning Stater Bros. announced that they are laying off courtesy clerks at a couple of different stores in Southern California. Courtesy clerks are valued members, bagging groceries for customers, cleaning and more, and deserve better from a company that was founded on family.
This is no longer Jack Brown’s Stater Bros. This is the new corporate Stater Bros., and this announcement is just another tactic the company is trying to use in their strategy to distract you from fighting for what you deserve and paying you the fair wages you have earned. We know they have the money for a fair contract because Stater Bros. has recently spent millions of dollars to remodel stores. Turning around and laying off the very people that make up the backbone of the company is just wrong.
If you are a courtesy clerk affected by this layoff, reach out to your union representative. They can help you access resources and navigate filing for unemployment, Covered California, CalFresh and more.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to your union representative, steward or bargaining committee members.
In Solidarity,

Attention Stater Bros. Members!
Stater Bros. has sent out a “survey,” but don’t be misled—this isn’t a genuine effort to hear your concerns. It’s a union-busting tactic. With bargaining starting in March, the company is using leading questions to manipulate responses and create division among you and your co-workers.
The timing is no coincidence—it’s a bad-faith move meant to weaken our collective strength before negotiations even begin, and we’ve filed an Unfair Labor Practice charge against Stater Bros. because of it.
Stay informed, stay united, and don’t let the company’s tactics distract you from fighting for the fair contract you’ve earned!
If you have any questions, reach out to your union representative, steward or bargaining committee members.
In Solidarity,
