Today is Juneteenth, a holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. This year, members have a lot to say about what this holiday means to us and what we’re thinking about on Juneteenth 2020. 

Thank you to UFCW 21 Shop Steward and Executive Vice President Wil Peterson for reaching out to fellow union leaders for their stories!
