UFCW Local 81 is working every day to increase wages and benefits, improve health care, negotiate better working conditions and create secure futures for 2,000 union members and their families in Puget Sound.
We do more than negotiate your contract. We stand beside you if you are injured on the job, if you are treated unfairly, or if you are facing unemployment. We also support you with resources to advance you in your job through flexible training, apprenticeships and professional degree programs. It’s the union advantage.
Thanks to the union, I have good health care for myself and my family. I had to be off work for an extended period of time and because of Local 81, I got paid sick leave and time-loss benefits. It was nice to have a union when I needed information and sound advice about my injury. My union is always there. When workplace issues arise, I know I can call them.
