working together

Unions are making a difference. With most of the economic benefits of our economy going to corporate America, working people are using the power of collective action to get their fair share. You can help workers win better wages, benefits and working conditions. Whenever workers win, we all win.

Grocery Workers United
Over the course of eighteen months, UFCW contracts covering more than 400,000 members in the grocery industry are being renegotiated. We are coming together and joining hands — worker to worker — across state lines, time zones and the continent. Together, we are speaking as one union with one voice to raise our voices for good contracts that provide for all workers and their families.
