Who we Represent

GROCERY

Grocery workers have always been essential workers and the work they do is vital to our communities. Union contracts give grocery workers a voice and vote in making their workplace a better, fairer place.

Food processing workers are highly trained professionals ensuring our nation's food security. Union contracts push these standards higher and ensure workers get the training, the protection, and the respect they need.

Cannabis workers in Ohio turn to our Union for the experience and track record of helping cannabis workers get Union contracts that set the standard for pay, benefits, and fairness in the industry.

Retail is one of the fastest growing industries in the country & the fight to make sure these jobs can support a middle-class life is critical. Retail workers deserve contracts that provide better wages, benefits, and enough hours to make a living.

Workers in the health care industry are professionals who deserve the same care and consideration they provide their patients. Union contracts help workers assert their power to demand the safety, fairness, and paid time off benefits they need.

Pharmacy workers are facing new challenges, from understaffing to workplace violence. Union contracts in pharmacy keep workers safe, reward hard work, and ensure the dignity workers deserve.
