UPDATE: UFCW 1189 members have voted to accept their Employer's contract extension proposal.
As previously communicated, UNFI/Cub Foods is proposing an extension to the current contract, which includes wage increases. Late Monday afternoon, the Employer sent their most recent adjusted proposal. We feel this is a fair proposal and one that benefits all members.

Union Representative and Recording Secretary
Union History: I have been a union member of OPEIU Local 12 since 1986 wherein I also filled the role of steward and negotiating committee member. I was hired by UFCW Local 1189 in September 2011. Prior to that, I worked for IAM District 143 for almost 25 years in an administrative capacity.
Why do you do what you do?
When I was hired in 1986 by the IAM, I had no knowledge nor experience with the labor movement. Today, I wouldn’t dream of working anywhere else but for a labor union. I’m fortunate to have the opportunity to work together with staff and representatives to achieve the same goals of representation for our members and justice for working families.
