UFCW Week and Memorial Day Treats

Greetings!

At Labor 411, we really admire the Union Food and Grocery workers. They bring us so many of the products we know and love – from Ghirardelli Chocolates to Heinz Ketchup and Advil to Jim Beam. In fact, the Labor 411 Consumer Products online directory would be a much smaller list without the thousands of products made, packaged or stocked by our friends at the United Food and Commercial Workers.

As we celebrate UFCW Appreciation Week next week, we invite you joins us as we explore how these hard-working union members touch our lives every day. Whether it’s a food processing worker toiling away in the warehouse or a local grocery store clerk you chit chat with regularly, there are tens of thousands of UFCW members involved in getting the goods on the shelf every day.

When you buy UFCW-made products or shop at UFCW-staffed stores, you are supporting good jobs right here at home. Browse our directory to familiarize yourself with those items, and remember, Buying Union means Buying American, but with even more quality assurances built in.

To learn more about the UFCW, follow our Facebook posts next week and check out the Labor 411 blog.

And with Memorial Day right around the corner, Labor 411 salutes this country’s fallen soldiers on this revered day of remembrance. Since the holiday also signals the beginning of summer, our Product Spotlight, below, lists some UFCW-made items that will help turn down the heat on a hot summer day.


                                                            In solidarity,

                                                            Labor 411

Words of Wisdom

"Higher wage increases would create more purchasing power for retail workers, which would generate $4 to $5 billion in additional annual sales for the industry, keep prices low for shoppers, and create more than 100,000 jobs."

 - Joseph T. Hansen, UFCW International President
