Essential Workers Deserve Justice
Too many grocery workers are supporting their families on poverty wages that are earned on difficult work schedules that don’t amount to full time because corporations are trying to avoid giving them benefits.
At CLUE, we believe grocery workers deserve the dignity of a full-time, 40-hour schedule and a living wage with benefits that allows them to support their families and provide them the medical care they need.
Over the years, we have worked with our partners at United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) on campaigns to unionize workers at Vons, Ralphs, Albertsons, Walmart and El Super, among others. Many of those who benefited from those campaigns have joined us at the picket lines to help achieve full representation for their fellow workers.
