UFCW 3000 Member Story: Roberta Bollin

Roberta Bollin (Birdie)

Roberta Bollin (Birdie) has been with the Burlington Fred Meyer store since 2002 in different departments all over the store including Grocery, Deli, Apparel, and the last four years as a Front End CCK PIC. Birdie loves working for a company that is represented by a union and being able to help solve problems on every day working conditions, like being able to take breaks, with management without having to fear repercussions. Birdie sees her staff representatives as a resource for her and her coworkers, and isn’t afraid to pickup the phone and talk about issues that are going on in the store. That has helped make sure that the Burlington Fred Meyer is a better place to work for everyone!

Birdie also got involved with UFCW 3000’s Racial Justice Advisory Board (RJAB) having delt with racism on the job all her life. Since going to RJAB meetings, and reporting back to her coworkers, they have wanted to get involved with the RJAB to improve equity on the job and in our union.

Birdie’s leadership shows that union members can stand together to make the job better for everyone when everyone has a voice at work!
