What grocery store companies are unionized?
The UFCW represents 835,000 grocery workers across North America. In California, the UFCW represents thousands of workers at major grocers like Ralphs, Vons, El Super, Food4Less, and Stater Bros.
Workers at all of these companies have achieved incredible things with their unions, and it’s time Cardenas workers had a chance to do the same.
What have other grocery workers won with their unions?
Through the power of the union, grocery workers across the country have negotiated contracts with living wages, guaranteed annual raises, balanced schedules, affordable health insurance, and better working conditions. Union workers have raised the bar for the value of their work, and they’ve turned their grocery jobs into excellent careers.
You and your coworkers have the power to decide what would make your workplace better. Joining a union means having the chance to build a future that works for you- one where you’re treated fairly, your voice is heard, and you have the wages, benefits, and protections that you deserve.
