MORE WORKERS ORGANIZING IN THE FACE OF WEALTH INEQUALITY  

6/10/2016

0 Comments

 
The UFCW announced its 100th organizing campaign win of 2016.  UFCW’s 100 wins in 100 days reflects the frustration felt by hard-working people across this country.  The economic pressure felt by working Americans is higher than ever and more of them are looking to unions for relief.  UFCW International President Perrone said, “A national conversation about wealth inequality is occurring in packing houses and in retail stores all over the country.  Workers are realizing that partnering with an established union can help secure the wages and benefits that put them on a path to a better life.”  Wealth inequality has become a dominant issue in this year’s Presidential primaries.  In both parties, voters assembled for candidates campaigning on a message of economic populism.  Increased attention to wages and inequality has motivated people to become UFCW members.

· Workers in 26 out of 50 states have already joined UFCW this year.
· Over 50 percent of UFCW locals have had successful organizing drives.
· 55 percent of adults under 30 hold favorable view of unions.
· In 10 years, millennials will make up 75 percent of the global work force.

****If you are able to give us a lead, provide us with a name, address and phone number of at least 1 employee at a particular workplace who is interested in being contacted by the UFCW,  let us know.  If the contact results in a viable campaign and goes to a card check or NLRB election, you can receive a year’s free dues.
