Some 56 workers
at the Smithfield Distribution Center in
Newport News, Virginia voted to unionize on
July 23. "It’s a great honor
and privilege to welcome the Smithfield
Distribution Center workers to the
Local 400 family,” said UFCW Local 400
President Mark Federici. “They are a
dedicated, fearless group of workers and we are
proud to represent them,” said
Federici. “While this was a great victory, we
aren’t done yet," he added.
"The next step is bargaining a first-rate
contract, together."
