Our Benefits

1199SEIU members enjoy one of the most comprehensive benefit packages in the nation. These benefits – including health, pension, training, job security and child care - are provided through the 1199SEIU Family of Funds, which are funded through employer with no out of pocket costs to members.

Other 1199SEIU Benefits for Rite Aid Workers

  • Excellent holiday, vacation and sick benefits. And we get paid for our unused sick days!
  • Management doesn't have the last word if there's a problem. We have a process, assisted by the union, and we have a say in how things are resolved.
  • A legally binding contract that makes sure we are treated fairly.

Does all this sound too good to be true?

That's understandable, because these are some of the best union benefits in the country. But, if you want to find out for yourself, just stop by any Rite Aid store in your neighborhood-or anywhere in the metropolitan area. And the Rite Aid 1199SEIU members there will be glad to answer all your questions and tell you about their experiences. You also can call us for free at 877-890-1199.

Clarissa Russo"Union representation is crucial for Rite Aid workers, especially if you want to have a career. No one has better health benefits than 1199SEIU and there are so many other important benefits.  You can earn enough to support a family while take advantage of free job training in order to advance. Later, when you are ready to retire, you'll have earned a pension that you can actually live on as well as receiving retiree health benefits.  For me, one of the most important reasons to belong to a union is job security - without a union contract you could be fired without cause, reason or recourse."
