DEC-Holiday-2008:Holiday Issue 12/16/08 10:05 AM Page 10 Set your holiday table with union-made goods If you’re planning a holiday meal or party this year, don’t forget to look for the union label on food and produce that you buy. Grocery, meat and in-store bak- eries are unionized at most Fred Meyer, Safeway, Albertsons, Haggens (Oregon City bakery) and QFC stores. Grocery checkers and meat cut- ters are members of United Food and Commercial Workers Local 555, and in-store bakery workers are members of Bakery, Confec- tionery Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers Local 114. In addition to the stores listed above, there are unionized in-store bakeries at Roth’s Family Mar- kets, Rosauer’s (Hood River), and Sherm’s Thunderbird (Roseburg). Roth’s and Wizer’s stores also have unionized meat departments. Gartners Country Meats in Portland, M&M Inc. in Dallas, Oregon, Jack’s Family Market in Salem, Rick’s Food Market in Jefferson, Rudy’s Newport Avenue Market in Bend, Long’s Meat Market in Eugene, and the Red Apple Market in St. Helens, also are union meat markets. WHAT TO BUY Baked goods from Oroweat, Franz, Williams, Fred Meyer Clackamas Bakery and Safeway Clackamas Bread Plant are made by members of Bakers Local 114. Teamsters and Operating Engi- neers represent workers at Tillam- ook County Creamery, where some of the best cheese in the world is produced. Teamsters also represent workers at Darigold, Umpqua, Franz Bak- ery, and Bimbo. Foster Farms produces poultry at plants in Corvallis, Oregon and Kelso, Wash., and Hill Meat Co. in Pendleton produces fresh and smoked pork products that can be purchased at local grocers. Workers at all these plants are represented by UFCW Local 555. The Northwest Labor Press has compiled a union shopping list for your food, beverage and dessert purchases. It is by no means an all- inclusive list, but it does include products made by members of both the AFL-CIO and Change to Win labor federations. Products are se- lected from union Web sites, past Union Industries Show participants, and from lists supplied by local unions.
