UFCW’s leadership is democratically elected by its members. Every five years, representatives from UFCW Local Unions all across the US and Canada come together at UFCW’s Convention to debate issues, make amendments to the International Constitution, and elect officers.
Each eligible Local Union sends delegates to speak and vote on behalf of their local’s members. If you are interested in learning more about the process of becoming a delegate, contact your Local Union.
