UFCW 21 Member Story: Bryan Finds Inspiration To Become Shop Steward

Bryan Gilderoy, grocery worker at Fred Meyer in Kent, poses for a photo.

Bryan Gilderoy has worked in the grocery industry since 2000. In 2008, he started working at Fred Meyer in Kent. He is a proud UFCW 21 member and leader in his workplace.

In 2013, Bryan and his wife welcomed their daughter into the world. Bryan says that the night she was born was the night that he decided he would become a shop steward.

“For my daughter’s sake, I want to do my small part to help the world become a better place. For me, that’s being a shop steward and helping my coworkers as best I can. I know it makes a difference.”

Since becoming a shop steward, Bryan has done everything from helping his coworkers fill out paperwork, to organizing campaigns to get frontline, essential workers PPE and Hazard Pay, to knocking on doors in Missouri to fight anti-worker legislation!

As someone who has benefited from job security & medical coverage throughout his years in the union, Bryan would like to remind everyone to complete their PHA survey ASAP to earn funding for your 2022 healthcare reimbursement plan! The deadline to do so is September 30th, and you can use this link: https://soundhealthwellness.com/pha/

Bryan, thank you for all that you do!
