• We are the major UFCW Local union in Alberta
  
• Our purpose is to improve the working lives of our members and all workers and we have been doing so in this province for over fifty years.
  
• We are the largest private sector local union in the province.
  
• While known for representing employees in the food processing and retail sector, we are much more diverse than that. Whether you work in a convention centre or a funeral home, a rental car agency or an office, you can be a 'commercial' worker.
  
• We are a democratic not for profit organization, affiliated with civic labour councils, the Alberta Federation of Labour and the Canadian Labour Congress.
  
• Our leaders are elected from and by the membership they represent.
  
• We have offices in Edmonton, Calgary and Lethbridge, but we travel to provide direct service to our members province wide.

We are a high profile union, never shying away from the tough issues or cases.
