Our nation’s organized labor movement was built by workers who came together to create unions to counter the power of corporations and industries. Over time, unions like the UFCW have built lasting infrastructures and established strong contracts that establish and protect our wages, benefits and working conditions.

We can’t take this success for granted. Without the participation of our members, through organizing activities, rallies, political action and more, our future success is not guaranteed. On this page you will find opportunities to join the thousands of Local 5 members who have volunteered their time to help build, strengthen, and protect our union and the labor movement. It’s time to take action!
