Political Action

There is no more powerful tool to advance your well-being and that of your fellow workers than to get personally involved with the American political process by speaking out for initiatives that will make your life better.

Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) Send your Letter or E-Mail to Washington NOW!

UFCW Local 464A is committed to positions that improve job security, wages, health care benefits and financial protections in retirement. Today these cornerstones of your prosperity are being eroded by special interests that are driving the American political process solely for their own benefit, not ours.

Improvements for American workers are best achieved through unified action. EFCA, which was reintroduced in the U. S. House and Senate in early March, 2009, would restore workers’ freedom to join a union. However, business interests such as the U. S. Chamber of Commerce and their lobbyists are mounting a firece campaign to to defeat passage. UFCW Local 464A members together with their families and  friends are urged to write their representatives in Congress to demand their vote for this vital legislation. It is critical that you do your part by acting NOW. See our sample correspondence. Simply cut and paste it into a letter and/or e-mail to your Senators and Congressman.
