The United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW) is a labor union representing workers in grocery stores, food processing and packing plants, retail stores, healthcare facilities, and other service industries across the United States and Canada. Its mission is to advocate for fair wages, safe working conditions, affordable healthcare, and stronger labor protections for its members.
UFCW typically advocates for policies supporting collective bargaining rights, minimum wage increases, workplace safety standards, healthcare access, paid leave, retirement security, food system worker protections, and opposition to right-to-work laws. The union also engages in broader economic justice and labor law reform efforts.
UFCW is primarily funded through membership dues and related union fees.
UFCW is affiliated with the AFL-CIO in the United States and the Canadian Labour Congress in Canada, and works with local UFCW chapters and various labor coalitions.
