Local 770's Web Site Serving Members

As the largest private-sector local union in the greater Los Angeles area, UFCW Local 770 is proud to represent an ethnically and culturally diverse membership of 30,000 men and women. They work in retail food and drug stores, pharmacies and medical laboratories, meat packing and food processing plants. Local 770 also has an active group of barbers and beauty culturists within its ranks.
For nearly 60 years, Local 770 has been a powerful voice for working people in L.A. We have served our members through collective bargaining, by organizing workers at non-union companies and by proposing and actively supporting legislation that benefits union members as well as all working people.

We're proud of what Local 770 has achieved for our members: the best contracts, the best wages and the best protections for food and commercial workers anywhere in America. Plus great health plans, secure pensions and the dignity and security that comes from a great record of fighting and winning grievances and arbitrations.

Local 770 also has a history of creating new and better ways of communicating with people both inside and outside the union. This Web Site is one way of interacting with our union members, other workers and the public. We have received many positive comments about our web site from other local unions.

This Web Site features announcements about union events, information on how to help employees organize at their own work place, the latest editions of official Local 770 publications and easy links to other Internet sources of information on labor and union subjects. We have also established an e-mail address so you can forward your comments and ideas.

We will regularly update the information on the Local 770 Web Site. Thank you for visiting with us.
