CTI Foods Employees Vote YES to Join UFCW Local 1776

nlrb, UFCW Local 1776

CTIOn August 26, CTI Foods employees became the newest members of UFCW Local 1776 as they overwhelmingly voted “Yes” to have a union voice. CTI Foods is a beef processing facility located in King of Prussia, Penn., that currently employs approximately 80 people, including regular and temporary employees.

CTI Foods employees wanted to join UFCW Local 1776 to secure better wages, more affordable benefits, a safer work environment, respect, and a real voice in the workplace. During the campaign, the employees alleged intense pressure from management to vote “No” in the days leading up to the election in the form of threats and illegal scare tactics.  The local even filed unfair labor practices with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) regarding the most serious allegations. However, in spite of management’s anti-union scare tactics, the majority of CTI Foods workers stood their ground and overwhelmingly voted to become part of the UFCW Local 1776 family.

1776 UCAN 1

On May 2, UFCW Local 1776 held an immigration workshop where trained UFCW members helped other members through the process of filling out their applications to apply for citizenship. The workshop is part of the UFCW’s Union Citizenship Action Network (UCAN) program.

The members who attended the workshop work in JBS and Cargill plants. Members were able to assist their fellow coworkers because they were trained on the citizenship process and how to help fill out the citizenship applications back in February. For more information on the UCAN program or if your local union is interested in hosting a training, visit the UFCW Immigration Guide site.
