Today, because approximately fifty percent of the UFCW membership is comprised of women, Local 1500 is currently in the process of establishing a Women's Network Committee in order to address issues and concerns that affect women and their families.
The committee will travel throughout the Five Boroughs, Long Island, and Upstate New York addressing Local 1500 members and their families on such issues as financial planning, child care, domestic and workplace violence, sexual harassment, breast cancer, health and safety, stress, elder care, drugs, alcoholism and other issues that may be prevalent.
The committee will seek to motivate, educate, train and encourage woman to participate in Local, Regional and International activities and programs.
Organizing and political action are top priorities of the UFCW. Local 1500's Women's Network will therefore work very closely with the Local 1500 Organizing Department and the International Union by organizing non-union establishments, particularly the "big box" stores, to help protect your job and your family. The Women's Network will also encourage Local 1500 members to push for legislation and back political candidates who support labor and family related issues.
Those interested in joining, please fill download the application here and send it to Local 1500.
