The United Food And Commercial Workers is a family of
workers who stick up for each other and fight side by side
to make the workplace a better place.
The UFCW is about workers coming together to build better
lives – now and for the future. It’s about getting a fair
paycheck this week and a good schedule next week. It’s about
being treated with respect. It’s about having a
decent job where we all have a say, so the boss can’t
push us around.
Whether we decide to stay and work for a few years while
we’re in school, for our whole career, or even just right
now, together we are a strong union – and we have a voice
on the job. Together we can stand up for ourselves –
negotiate better wages and benefits, quality healthcare and
safe working conditions – and make sure everyone’s
treated fairly.
In the United Food and Commercial Workers, workers are
the union. Workers come together on the job; nominate
and elect union officers and leaders to represent their
collective voice; determine what will be fought for in the
contract, and together, we fight to make the workplace and
our communities better.
The more workers join together for the good of all, the more
management listens to what we have to say. In a Union there is
strength. With a union, you negotiate numerous other
benefits guaranteed in a union contract, such as,
- Wages, health care, and retirement plans so we can
make our jobs careers
- Job security, so you can’t be fired for just any
reason.
- Protection from favoritism, to be sure everyone is
treated with respect.
Other important workplace issues are negotiated, too
like:
- Work schedules
- How to resolve problems at work
- Reasonable workload requirements
- Workplace safety protections and training
- Seniority rights
- And a voice on the job to bargain for other benefits
