Working men and women across the United States and Canada are proud to call the UFCW their union. We are from all backgrounds and walks of life in big cities, small towns, and suburbs. We work in a wide range of industries, including retail food, meatpacking, poultry and food processing, manufacturing, and retail stores.

The UFCW is about workers helping workers achieve better wages, better benefits, and safer working conditions. Despite the challenges of soaring health care premiums, costly prescription medications, retirement insecurity, and economic instability, the UFCW is a powerful voice for working men and women, leading efforts to protect and improve the livelihoods of all workers.

We are North America’s Neighborhood Union—1.3 million members standing together to improve the lives and livelihoods of workers, families, and communities. Whether it’s making the blue jeans your children wear to school, stocking and scanning the groceries you buy, or processing the turkey you carve on Thanksgiving Day, UFCW members are proud to serve you.
