Resources for Members During Flooding and Extreme Weather Events
/
The atmospheric river and the rainfall and high winds it will bring to our communities could have a huge impact across our region--UFCW 3000 members, families and communities could face continued power and heat loss at home as well as at work. Some workers could experience partial or total work closures creating difficult circumstances surrounding hours, pay, and life stability
As we navigate these adverse weather effects, please remember there are resources and rights through our union and through our communities that can help.
