Better Working Conditions for Weis Markets
We are calling on Weis Markets to revert to the previous system of hour allocation based on department revenue rather than the number of items sold. This change is necessary to address the current staffing shortages and impossible workloads that employees across multiple departments are facing.
We also request that Weis corporate leadership recognize the severe impact that current policies are having on employee health, morale, and retention. Specifically, we need:
A return to hour allocations based on department revenue to ensure that each department receives sufficient staffing to meet demands without overworking employees.
A reassessment of workload expectations to ensure that they are reasonable and achievable within the allocated hours.
A commitment to employee well-being, including ensuring that employees are given all breaks listed in the handbook and that workloads do not lead to burnout and health problems.
This change will not only improve working conditions for employees but also enhance department performance, reduce turnover, and foster a healthier and more productive work environment at Weis Markets.

Why is this important?
Why Is It Important?
This campaign is important because the current working conditions at Weis Markets are unsustainable and are causing serious harm to the well-being of employees across multiple departments. The drastic reduction in staffing hours, combined with an increase in workload, has led to burnout, health problems, and mass resignations. These conditions not only negatively impact the employees but also affect the overall performance of the store, leading to lower morale, poor customer service, and operational inefficiencies.
The shift in hour allocation based on the number of items sold, rather than department revenue, is directly contributing to these issues. By advocating for a return to the previous system of hour allocation based on department revenue, we can help ensure that all departments receive the staffing hours they need to function properly, employees are not overworked, and workloads are reasonable and achievable.
This change is essential to restoring a healthy, productive work environment where employees feel supported, valued, and able to perform their jobs effectively without risking their physical and mental health.
Why Should Other People Join?
Weis Markets employees across all stores are facing the same challenges: fewer hours, more work, and unreasonable expectations. If we don’t stand together to demand change, these issues will only worsen, driving more of us to burnout and pushing more of our coworkers to leave.
By joining this campaign, you’re not only standing up for yourself but also for your coworkers who are experiencing the same struggles. Together, we can push for fairer hour allocation, improved working conditions, and a stronger commitment to employee well-being.
This is an opportunity for all of us to ensure that Weis Markets recognizes the importance of its workforce and makes the necessary changes to support a healthy and sustainable workplace. Every voice counts, and by working together, we can achieve real, lasting change.
