Remember when everyone had a Union?

Do you remember when everyone enjoyed the benefit of Union representation?

My grandmother, Dotty Weber, was an employee of Country Club Market, at Lexington & Larpenteur, back when they were still in business [quite some time ago] 
and took part in the Union-picketing that occurred there in 1989.

[PS> do you see how even they were affiliated with the AFL-CIO?]

This is picket-flag is an important reminder 
of the struggles our forefathers took 
upon themselves in order to provide
better lives for future generations.

  1. Check out this excellent mailer that was DELIVERED TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE MEMBERS OF UFCW LOCALS #789 & #1116 alerting them of the MERGING of these 2 Locals.

    Visit the .pdf that was sent out to the members @:
    http://www.ufcw789.org/newsletter/mergerannouncement.pdf

    THEY GOT A NOTICE,
    THEY EVEN GOT TO VOTE ON THE MERGER,
    TOO BAD THE CARPENTERS DID NOT GET THAT CHANCE.
