UFCW 21 Member, Rachel Mahar — Safeway Redondo #1186

This week’s #MemberMonday spotlight features Rachel Mahar from Safeway Redondo #1186. Rachel is continue to help lead the fight for hazard pay for both her store and the Des Moines Safeway #3540. Her colleagues, Ian Littau and Heidi Engen worked with our political department to craft a palm card with an email link to the Des Moines city council. With all of their hard work, over 70 emails were sent. A Des Moines Councilmember informed Ian that advocating for hazard pay has garnered more civic activism than any other during his tenure serving on the council and he subsequently pledged to bring our issue to a vote at the next meeting. Once again our members are answering the call to step up for their coworkers and for Labor everywhere! They’ll be at the stores signing up speakers and encouraging folks to send the council a letter via QR code. Thank you Rachel, Ian, and Heidi for your powerful advocacy and leadership!
