UFCW members attended the Young Workers Committee hosted by the New Jersey chapter of the AFL-CIO to learn how to help young members become more active in the labor movement.

This month, members from UFCW Locals 464A, 1360 and UFCW/RWDSU Local 108 attended the New Jersey State AFL-CIO Young Workers Committee. The New Jersey state program is part of a larger national program committed to strengthen young worker involvement in the labor movement. Young workers from across the state attended the AFL-CIO’s statewide conference where they met labor leaders including AFL-CIO secretary treasurer Elizabeth Shuler.  They discussed ways to all support each other in their efforts to activate younger rank and file members in the labor movement. UFCW members were excited  to meet other AFL-CIO members who together, will support ongoing efforts to build a stronger labor movement with more involvement of younger workers.
