Grocery union members on the West Coast recently took to the streets to voice support for fair wages, benefits and strong working environments. Hundreds of employees belonging to United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) organizations in Southern California and representing a coalition called Grocery Workers Rising marched from Vons to Stater Bros. stores in La Verne, Calif., on Tuesday, April 15.
The members contend that they took action to ensure that they and their colleagues get fair living wages, affordable health care benefits, a reliable pension and adequate staffing at their respective workplaces. They represent associates from The Kroger Co.-owned Ralphs, Albertsons Cos.-owned Vons and Pavilions and Stater Bros., among other retailers.
