Gerald Singh began his career in the food industry in 1978 as a Courtesy Clerk at Alpha Beta.
He also worked for Smith’s and Vons as a receiver and on the night crew. He joined Local 1428’s staff in 1999, working in the Benefits Department. In 2000, Singh became an organizer and worked on the Gigante Foods and Best Value campaigns.
He has been a union representative since 2002.
Singh believes his most important responsibility is contract enforcement. He also believes in maintaining a dialogue with members to gauge how they are doing on the job and in their personal lives. By doing so, he feels he can measure the pulse of the membership and deal with issues as they arise.
He also strongly believes in keeping the membership informed, because an informed membership is vital to maintaining the union’s strength.

Singh and his wife, Kim, are the parents of two adult children. They also have two grandchildren. When he is not at work, Singh enjoys spending time with his family, playing golf and coaching high school wrestling.
