"I joined UFCW 951 because I knew being a part of the union would give me a community of people to help navigate me through my first job experience. The union representatives are constantly checking in on me and other union members, to ensure we are being represented and heard in our store."

"Our union representative was proactive in making sure that not only my issues but other people’s, too, were taken care of. I’m thankful that I am a part of the union and have leadership that cares as much as I do about what I deserve."

"It's important to have the union here for the stability, the reassurance of knowing somebody has your back out here, because it gets crazy sometimes."

"Whenever I have a concern with management, I always have a union representative available to help solve and address those issues. With the union looking out for us, I feel supported and secure with my job."

"I will never in my life work another non-union job. It is a night and day difference. I have recourse, representation and year after year I have been able to receive wage increases."

"As a union place, we become a family. We all get to know each other. We support and help each other. The union will treat you like a family and help you out whether you're in trouble or not."

"UFCW 951 has benefited me and my family in numerous ways. With inflation and the things that are going on in the world today, saving anything – just as little as a dollar helps. UFCW 951 has provided me with many kinds of discounts and resources that me and my family have used and will use in the future."

"I have a union contract to hold my employer accountable. I also have people in my workplace who care about my well-being. When my fellow members become ill, the union holds fundraisers to contribute to medical costs. I am proud to be a part of an organization that truly cares about people."

"The union has given me job security. They advocated for me regarding accommodations and hours. I feel safe and secure at work as a person with disabilities because of the union."

"The union helps us all to feel safe, valued, and an important part of something bigger. What stands out for me is the value of representation with better pay, wage increases, improved benefits, retirement options, holiday pay, and more. There are so many reasons to enjoy membership!"

"I am a union member because I believe in my workplace community and helping myself and my coworkers have a voice, fight for higher wages, and have dignity and respect."
