LOS ANGELES – The United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Western States Council today announced endorsing Xavier Beccera for re-election as California’s Attorney General.
UFCW Local 8 President Jacques Loveall, “From fighting to protect our health care to standing up for immigrant communities, Attorney General Xavier Becerra has shown California’s workers that he knows what’s right and even more importantly — he’s willing to fight for it.”
Andrea Zinder, Secretary-Treasurer, UFCW Local 324,“As workers are facing unprecedented new threats to their security in a global economy and from an anti-worker federal administration, UFCW members are standing with leaders who support our right to organize for a stronger voice at work. We know we can count on Attorney General Becerra to protect workers’ voices and the strength we have in unity with our brothers and sisters.”
John Grant, President of UFCW Local 770,“UFCW workers are ready to work hard to re-elect Xavier Becerra because we know we can count on him to enforce California’s landmark legal protections for workers, to hold corporations accountable under our laws, and to help advance workers’ vision for a state that creates more pathways to the middle class, embraces diversity, and makes progress toward universal healthcare.”
The United Food and Commercial Workers Western States Council is the regional coordinating body of 11 UFCW local unions representing over 200,000 workers in California, Arizona, Nevada, and Utah. The Council is a part of the 1.2 million-member strong UFCW International Union. UFCW members are standing together to improve the lives of workers, families, and communities.
