On Sept. 2, the UFCW celebrated Labor Day by paying tribute to the important role America’s workers play in providing services to communities nationwide.
“Today, we celebrate Labor Day and the millions of workers and union members across the country who keep this nation running,” said UFCW International President Marc Perrone in a statement. “The UFCW is proud to represent essential workers who help to provide working families with the food, supplies, and care they need.”
“As American support of labor unions continues to grow, more workers are realizing the power they have when they stand together. This is especially important as we head into an election where workers’ rights are on the ballot. This Labor Day, for the sake of workers everywhere, our union is committed to working hard to elect pro-labor candidates up and down the ballot. Working people are the backbone of the American economy and need elected officials who will give them the opportunity to build the better life they have earned and deserve.”
