Welcome
to UFCW Local 2008. We are working hard to maintain open and effective
communication with our past, current, and future members. You will find
news about your Local Union and inform information about your Officers and
Union Representatives, as well as your bargaining agreements, your
rights as a member, your right to organize, and much more.
Local 2008 represents over 6,000 members in the state of Arkansas and
southwest Missouri in the retail and wholesale food industry, poultry
and meat processing and packing, catfish processing, healthcare and
health services, barbers, laboratory science, and the shoe manufacturing
industry.
UFCW Local 2008 was formed May 1, 1992, with the merger of Local 425 and
Local 1583. Originally chartered on May 27, 1947, by the Retail Clerks
International Association, Local 1583 was formed by workers in the
retail grocery industry. Local 425 was originally founded by poultry and
meat processing and packing workers on October 25, 1950, and chartered
by the Amalgamated Meatcutters and Butcher Workmen of North America.
With the mergers of the two International Unions in 1979, and the
subsequent merger of Locals 425 and 1583 in 1992, Local 2008 now
represents workers across the entire state of Arkansas and southwest
Missouri.
Local 2008’s mission is to improve the lives of our members through
collective bargaining and enforcement of union contracts, to protect the
rights of our members, and to give members a strong voice on issues
affecting their workplace.
UFCW members stand together throughout the state and nation for fair
treatment and economic justice for workers. |
