Marv Russow comes from a family of
union leaders. You could say Marv has the union in his DNA.
Marv's grandfather was a Teamster leader and president of the
Retail Clerks Union, which later became UFCW Local 876. Marv's
father was president of UFCW Local 27, and the Organizing and
Collective Bargaining Director for the Retail Clerks
International Union, which later became the UFCW International
Union.
Marv has held officer positions at four outstanding UFCW locals
since 1976, including eleven years as president of the Louisville,
Kentucky based Local 227. Following that service, he became Executive
Assistant to the UFCW International president for Food
Processing and Manufacturing.
Prior to his election to the UFCW 951 Executive Board, he was
serving as Deputy Trustee of UFCW Local 700 in Indianapolis.
In the course of his extensive union experience, Marv has dealt
with Meijer, Kroger and many other employers.
"Taking the union to the members" sums up Marv's approach to
reinventing unions for today's economic reality. "We can't be
our grandfather's union," says Russow. "And getting the members
involved on their terms, whether that is in the workplace or in
their home community, is the key."
"I could not be happier to join UFCW 951 and serve its members,"
Marv said. "951 has a tremendous reputation as one of the
premier local unions, not just in the UFCW, but throughout the
union movement."
Marv and his wife Vicki (a 30 year Kroger employee) have three
daughters. |
