Voting is one of the most important ways to make sure our local, state and national governments work better for hard-working people. Holding politicians accountable and supporting the issues that matter isn’t something we only do at the ballot box. UFCWVotes engages our elected representatives on essential worker issues every day. Together, we can and do make government work better for working people.
In November 2025, there are major elections in Virginia, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Check your voter registration today, and click your state to find out where the candidates stand on the issues that matter to our members.
For the safety of our food and our jobs, we urge you not to move forward with increasing the speed requirements of poultry slaughter lines. USDA Rule FSIS-2025-0012 could directly affect the chicken products families bring home every day. Policies that prioritize faster production over proven safety measures put both workers and consumers at unnecessary risk.
We respectfully ask you not to increase line speeds. Our food system should not depend on speed at the expense of safety.
