Mission Statement

At UFCW Local 1473, we are dedicated to advocating for the rights, dignity, and well-being of all members. Our mission is to ensure fair wages, safe working conditions, and equitable treatment for employees across food processing, meat packing plants, grocery stores, retail, health care facilities, and cannabis dispensaries. 

We believe in the power of collective action to fight for job security, healthcare benefits, and protections against exploitation. Through education, organizing, and negotiation, we empower our member workers to have a voice in their workplace and their cba. 

Together, we strive to build a just and sustainable Local Union—one that values the hard work of those who feed and care for our communities. United, we stand for respect, fairness, and a future where every Local 1473 member thrives.
