Our Focus on Labor and Human Rights

Labor Relations and Employee Benefits
Heinz maintains good relationships with labor unions. As of Sept. 30, 2007, approximately 60% of Heinz U.S. employees were covered by collective bargaining agreements. Heinz has a history of negotiating fair and competitive contracts that provide family-sustaining jobs and wages. Health and safety also are addressed in the Company’s labor contracts, and the unions play an active role on health and safety committees that help Heinz attain high standards of safety compliance and performance.
