22%

Union workers’ wages are 22 percent higher than their nonunion counterparts.

As the union for health care workers, we represent the jobs of the future.

The UFCW represents over 55,000 health care professionals who are employed in hospitals and assisted living facilities across the country, including registered nurses, certified nursing assistants, transport and food service workers, dietary assistants, professional and technical staff, maintenance workers and housekeepers. We proudly represent thousands of Kaiser Permanente staff across the United States.

We also represent workers across the pharmacy and drug store sectors to make sure that, at whatever step of keeping America healthy, our work is respected and rewarded.  

Our union has a proud history of negotiating strong contracts for our members in the health care industry that include including quality raises and cost of living increases, as well as a fair paid time off and sick leave system; safe staffing levels; and respect and transparency from management.

These contracts enable these hard-working women and men to provide the best patient care while being fairly compensated with the wages and benefits they need to take care of their own families.
