The UFCW Women' s Network was founded in 1988 and works to motivate and encourage women to become active in their local union so they can contribute towards building and strengthening the UFCW. More than half of the UFCW's 1.4 million members are women and we are a powerful resource for our union. The active participation of women in their union enhances the strength at the bargaining table, in organizing campaigns and in the political arena.

What We Do

Thousands of Women's Network activists across the U.S. and Canada donate their time and energy to ensure the success of a wide variety of local union activities; organizing, voter registration, educational, political and community outreach.

Network members have made voter registration a priority in UFCW worksites, reaching out to women and young members who are eligible to vote for the first time.

The Women's Network also works to alert UFCW members and the public about child labor, foreign made products, workplace violence, policies and practices of anti-union companies that undercut our economy and our communities, and the need for National Health Care Reform.

Network members also participate in many community activities such as assisting women's shelters, youth centers, teaching labor in our schools and communities, raising money for breast cancer and leukemia research, just to name a few.
