Community Service-Members helping members |

| The
Holiday parties were a great success,
thanks to all the members and their
families who were able to celebrate the
holidays with us. To see more pictures

As a member of UFCW 951, you are not alone. |
Even though it
might sound old fashioned, union members often still
refer to each other as "brother" or "sister." Our union is
a community, and the help we provide extends beyond the
walls of your workplace.
UFCW 951 realizes many of our members face challenges outside the
workplace, especially during these tough economic times.
Because the whole point of a union is members helping
members, UFCW 951 employs two, full-time Community
Service Representatives who provide confidential
assistance to members. From health problems to financial
issues, our staff can put you in contact with resources
within charitable and governmental organizations that
can help.

It is not common for a union to have a Foundation, but
951 isn't just any union. The purpose of the UFCW 951
Foundation is to help us fulfill our mission of helping
each other and our community.
-
The Foundation works hand-in-hand with the
Community Service Representatives to
organize benefits for members in need.
- It champions
causes and works to alleviate problems
within the community.
-
Scholarships are awarded to members or
their dependents attending college or a
trade school.
|
The Foundation is
funded through regular paycheck deductions from
contributing members. The individual amounts are
small, but when we put them together, they add
up to the ability to do a lot of good.
Contributing to the Foundation entitles you to
receive a UFCW 951
Discount Card.

|
Discount programs and recreational activities. |
Just as our collective association gives us
power in the workplace, it gives us power in the
marketplace, as well. UFCW 951 uses that power
to negotiate discounts for our members. From
shopping to dining, travel to flowers, car
washes to bowling alleys, the UFCW 951
Discount Card helps members stretch their
dollars. To receive a discount card, sign up to
contribute to the UFCW 951 Foundation and/or the
ABC Club.
Union Plus member services.
Union plus offers member discounts on
services such as Insurance, Legal help,
Money and Financial advice and
much more. |
We understand that members have many, varied
interests outside the workplace. That's why the
Community Service Representatives plan social
activities having nothing to do with work. So
far they've coordinated hockey games, casino
trips and holiday craft parties, with more
events to come.
If you have any questions, suggestions, or are
in need of assistance, feel free to contact
Joanie or Jackie (see below). |
