UFCW Ohio Locals Celebrate Wave of Pro-Worker Victories in Buckeye State

Today, United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Locals 75, 880, and 1059 released a statement celebrating the election of Dr. Amy Acton as governor, Sherrod Brown as senator, and all the pro-worker candidates elected to the U.S. House of Representatives and state legislature.

UFCW Local 75 President Kevin Garvey, UFCW Local 880 President Carl Green, and UFCWLocal 1059 President Mike Nichols said: 

“Last night, working Ohioans won big by electing pro-labor candidates up and down the ballot. As prices soar and squeeze hard-working Ohio families, Ohioans cast their ballots for leaders who will make life more affordable and bring good, union jobs to our state.

“We thank UFCW members, who stood arm-in-arm across Ohio as they knocked doors, attended rallies, made phone calls, and showed up at the ballot box to demand change. Their solidarity proves that no amount of money can silence the voices of working people. We look forward to working with Governor-elect Acton, Senator-elect Brown, and all newly-elected pro-worker leaders in Ohio.”
