UFCW is a non-profit labor union representing about 1.3 million workers in the United States and Canada, with members employed in industries including meat packing, grocery, and retail. Based in Washington, DC, it coordinates through local unions to advocate for workers and bargain on their behalf. Its mission centers on giving workers a voice on the job, opposing injustice and exploitation by employers, securing living wages and benefits, and creating career paths that support the American dream. In January 2026, workers at the Build-A-Bear Workshop in St. Louis, Missouri voted to join UFCW Local 655. The organization functions as a federation with local affiliates across the United States and Canada, pursuing its objectives through member services, campaigns, and partnerships.
