UFCW 5's Shop
Stewards Program

Local 5's shop stewards program exists to insure that the members of the union receive the best possible representation on the job. The easiest way to deal with a problem is to resolve it before it explodes into a huge one. That is why the shop stewards program is so important. Stewards work in the same facility you do and are able to take care of problems when they come up or get a union rep involved if necessary.

Problem on the job? Contact your steward as a first step. No steward in your workplace and you would like to get involved? Contact Local 5's coordinator or your area coordinator listed in the right hand column.
