UFCW Credit Union

UFCW Local 770 represents over 20,000 grocery workers in Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties. Overall, the union represents more than 30,000 members in the retail food, retail pharmacy, meatpacking and food processing, laboratory, and cannabis industries. Its retail members are disproportionately impacted by the Coronavirus pandemic. Since the start of the pandemic, the union has won a $2 temporary pay boost for union members at many Southern California grocery and drug chains including Albertsons, Vons, Gelsons, Super A, Stater Brothers, and Rite Aid. The UFCW has worked with local and state officials to win protections for grocery workers including access to personal protective gear and crowd control measures in stores. It also worked with Gov. Gavin Newsom to win two weeks of paid quarantine leave for all food chain workers, which covers nearly 3 million workers in California.
