UFCW Local 1776
Local 1776 represents workers in Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs for the United Food and Commercial Workers. The larger majority of their members work in grocery stores. The number 1776 refers to the historical date in Philadelphia rather than it being a sequential number of local unions.
==History==
*In 1937, The Retail Clerks & Managers Protective Association (retail clerks) Local 1357 was founded in Philadelphia by employees of American Stores and A&P. Then in 1963, Local 1357 of the retail clerks had 4,000 members in Philadelphia area supermarkets. By the end of the decade, through the organizing power of president Wendell Young III over 10,000 non-food retail workers and department store employees joined Local 1357. In 1971, Pennsylvania State Liquor Store clerks joined the ranks of the expanding union. Food processing workers boot & shoe factory workers, health care workers, clerical and professional administrators as well as insurance agents and barbers, hairdressers and cosmetologists all unified during throughout the course of the 1980s. To celebrate the newfound unity of so diverse a union membership, Local 1357 changed to the historic Local number "1776" in May 1989. Through President Wendell Young III's skills as an organizer and administrator, Local 1776 expanded to over 24,000 members in 1990. A decade earlier, the Retail Clerks International Association had merged with the Amalgamate Meat cutters to create the United Food & Commercial Workers (UFCW) International Union. This is where UFCW Local 1776's name is derived.
*Local 1776 of today is vastly different in form and function, but there remains a similarity of purpose and mission, the struggles against the privatization of the PLCB and the invasion of non-union competition such as Wal-mart, non-union food producers, and so on.
