Working men and women across the United States and Canada are proud to call the UFCW their union. UFCW’s 1.3 million members work in a range of  industries, with the majority working in retail food, meatpacking and poultry, food processing and manufacturing, and retail stores. We are North Americas neighborhood union, and the largest union of young  workers with 40 percent of UFCW members under the age of 30.

UFCW members are from many backgrounds and walks of life, but come together as the UFCW for the shared goal of achieving the American Dream. The  UFCW is about workers helping workers improve working and living standards. When we unite for better wages, benefits, and working  conditions, we help protect and improve the livelihoods of all workers.

UFCW Local 27 represents  over 20,000 of these members in Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia. Our mission is to represent  them  and provide a voice in the workplace, so that all workers have  the opportunity to reach the American Dream.
