Vote UFCW YES at Cresco
Your campaign. Your voice. Your future.Together We Can Do It!
The promises of a Cresco bigshot mean nothing when their actions are the opposite of what they say. Pay attention to the real facts of your salary and working conditions.
Remember: A CEO’s empty promises won’t pay the bills for you and your family. If Cresco means what they say, they should put it in a union contract.
Your loyalty to Cresco should be worth something. With a union, your time at Cresco can represent more pay and better benefits for you.
FAQs
What are union dues?
Dues are resources unions receive from members to serve and defend them. Union dues provide members with power to negotiate better wages, have legal support, gain political and community support to keep your Union strong!
The dues for Local 881 UFCW are less than $9 a week, BUT you do not pay dues until a contract is negotiated, and it gives you more that what you currently get.
Why did I get a letter from Cresco?
You might have already received a letter from Cresco regarding the election. Cresco does not want you to be Union.
