UFCW Organizers in Action


What's it like being an organizer? Read the stories of our Organizers in Action for their perspectives on building working power.
  • Pasqual Talamantes, 
    Organizing Focus: Packing

    “That is the reason we call it a 'union' because we are all united, we are all standing-up together, we are all helping each other." 

  • Jessica Valenzuela, 
    Organizing Focus: Grocery Stores

    “When you’re an organizer,” says Jessica, “you really know that it’s not just about you. You get to meet all kinds of people and really get a bigger picture of the world than just what’s right around you." 

  • Maribel Ariza, 
    Organizing Focus: Packing

    “I like being a steward because I have the possibility of learning how to help other people."
