The 3rd Annual Lobby Day was a great success! Our sea of gold shirts was impossible not to notice as we entered the state capitol. Many of our members took this opportunity to meet with their state representatives, and were able to speak with them face to face about the issues that are affecting their jobs, families and communities. If you missed the opportunity to attend Lobby Day but you would like to get involved in future outings, please contact Joanie Huddleston (West/Central) 1-800-999-0951 extension 141 or Jackie Daugherty (East/Central) 1-800-999-0951 extension 101.

Change to Win




Some people wonder, why do politics matter to my union? It's because years of hard earned gains at the bargaining table can be erased with one stroke of the political pen. The officials we elect and the laws they enact have a lot to do with how well our Union can work for you. mes from separate, voluntary contributions from concerned members who contribute to the Active Ballot Club (ABC).

Active Ballot Club
The purpose of the Active Ballot Club is to encourage and enable 951 members to participate in the political process. Living in a democracy has its benefits, but making democracy work carries with it a responsibility to become involved. The Active Ballot Club helps us participate in the democratic life of our community and our nation.

Members support the Active Ballot Club through small, regular deductions from their paycheck, through raffles, and other fundraising. The average contribution is only 50 cents a week. While the individual amounts are small, they add up to the ability to do a lot of good!

Those who support the Active Ballot Club receive a UFCW Member Discount Card which provides them with discounts at local and national merchants.

If you have any questions regarding the Active Ballot Club or politics, contact your Union Representative at 1-800-999-0951.
