UFCW 300 Podcast Episode 2: Creating Unity Across State Lines with Member Alison

What can you do to support fellow workers organizing their union? UFCW 3000 member and podcast host Michaela speaks with fellow UFCW 3000 member and health care worker Alison about supporting other workers when they want to organize a union, even if they’re in another state—and especially if they work for your same employer. Bonus intro chat with UFCW 3000 organizer Emma about what’s so fun about organizing.

UFCW 3000 union shop steward Michaela is always ready to answer fellow members’ questions about their union. She’s also a devoted murder podcast listener. Put those interests together, and she decided to start a union podcast to get all her coworkers’ questions and her own questions answered, and to meet as many people as possible who could share what it means to be a part of UFCW 3000. (No murder on this podcast, only solidarity!)

Attention all UFCW 3000 Grocery Store Members at QFC, Fred Meyer, Albertsons, Safeway and Haggen
 
Ever since the day in mid-October when Kroger and Albertsons announced they were proposing to merge, we have been taking action to protect grocery store workers and our customers. What are all the threats of the merger and what actions have we taken already to protect jobs and community? Please watch the webinar above on the proposed Albertsons/Kroger merger to learn more about the activities our local union, in coordination with a handful of other UFCW locals, has been doing since the announcement. While much is still not known about what specifically these companies propose, it is clear that the proposed mega-merger would impact workers’ jobs, our shoppers and our communities.
