Secretary Treasurer Report

 UFCW professional providers offer comprehensive vision, dental and chiropractic care to our members and their families
We have a diverse membership that includes people working in many areas other than the food industry. It is this diversity that makes us strong.While we have been preparing for negotiations in 2011, when the Master Food Agreement expires, we have been constantly negotiating contracts covering members in other industries. It is my responsibility to negotiate contracts that determine these members’ wage rates, medical benefits and pensions through the UFCW Drug or General Sales Trust Funds.

The story below about Mintz Family Optometry highlights one of our small union professional offices. We have contracts that cover people working for other optometrists, as well as dentists and chiropractors.
