Description
Who are we?
We are Local 1546 of the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union, the UFCW. The UFCW, affiliated with the AFL-CIO, is an International Union representing workers from a diverse range of industries including grocery and drug retailers; meat cutting, processing, and packing; chemical works; nursing home and healthcare facilities, and many others. The UFCW has Local Unions spread throughout the United States and Canada.
Local 1546, a union merged in January, 2002, from former UFCW Locals 100A, 1540, and 546, represents more than 34,000 members throughout the state of Illinois, part of Northwest Indiana, and dotted throughout several other states. Our members work in retail grocery and drug stores, in meat packing and processing plants, in nursing homes, in leather processing plants, and in a number of other retail settings. Local 1546 is proud to represent workers at companies such as Vienna Beef, Dominick’s Finer Foods, Rochelle Packing, Alden Nursing Care Facilities, and dozens of others.
• Our first obligation is to negotiate the best possible contracts for our members, and then to see to it that the terms of those contracts are enforced through the filing of grievances, when necessary, and through committed and caring service to our members.
