UFCW Members Nationwide Show Support for Local 400 and 27 Members

UFCW members of Locals 400 and 27 are standing together for a fair contract--and UFCW members nationwide are standing with them.  Members last week wore stickers to show their support for locals, who are currently bargaining with Giant and Safeway.  Their employers have so far been unwilling to agree to a fair contract for their workers, one that shares the success with those employees that made it possible.

Members are signing pledges to fight for a fair contract with wages that pay the bills and affordable health care. Their pledge also includes signing up to pass out info to consumers outside their stores, with info about the negotiations and a request that shoppers support them with their shopping dollars if the company won't settle a fair contract.
 
In addition, UFCW members will be asking for support from members and supporters nationwide, in telling the companies that they need to offer Baltimore/DC workers a fair contract now.
