General Information for all UFCW Local 1116 members:
Know Your Rights, Know Your Contract!
Your labor contract protects your rights at work. Every labor contract is different, so you should make sure you have a current copy of your agreement. If you do not have a contract, ask your Union Steward or your Union Representative for a copy of your current labor contract.
Read your contract and know your rights!
