I'm grateful for my union because not only did they save my job many years ago but are changing lives of union members all over. I think the club is a great incentive because not only does it help with ticket prices but helps bring families together...Thank you Union 951 for fighting for our rights and making our jobs better!”"
-Heidi Peters, Kroger #811

-Diane Williams, Meijer #233

"I decided to come tonight to get out of the house and give my kids something fun to do. Their favorite activity was making their own Christmas trees, and it was nice that we were able to work on them together as a family. It's very nice that the union has this kind of event for its members. I was just talking with my kids about how this is the third holiday party we've been to and it shows a great relationship among members getting out and having a great time together and meeting new people that I haven't seen at the parties before!"
-Joe Nawrot, Meijer #312

"We really had fun on the Funnel of Fear!"
