Profiles The UFCW has the youngest membership of any union in North America. Forty percent of us are under 30 - that's about 450,000 people. We are the cashiers and clerks in your local supermarkets, and we process the hamburgers you eat - along with thousands of other food products - in plants across the country.

Profiles The UFCW is about workers coming together to build better lives now and in the future. Its about getting a fair paycheck this week, and a good schedule next week. Its about being treated with respect , and about having a decent job where we all have a say so the boss cant push us around.

Profiles Whether we decide to stay and work for a few years while were in school, for our whole career, or even just for 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 health care and safe working conditions and make sure everyones treated fairly.

I'd like to meet:
