UFCW Local 1167 honors the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who understood that the fight for civil rights is deeply connected to the fight for workers’ rights. Dr. King once said:
“The labor movement was the principal force that transformed misery and despair into hope and progress.”
Today, we recommit ourselves to that vision—standing together to protect dignity, fairness, and justice for all working people.

UFCW Local 1167 pays tribute to the life and legacy of former UFCW International President Douglas H. Dority.
Born on December 9, 1938, in Marion, Virginia, Dority served for a decade as UFCW International President from 1994 to 2004. During his tenure, he strengthened the union’s fight for workers’ rights, notably advancing a comprehensive campaign to challenge Walmart’s labor practices. His leadership helped mobilize nationwide actions, including the 2002 “national day of action,” during which UFCW members and allies rallied in more than 100 communities nationwide.
Dority also guided the union through one of its most consequential periods of collective action, leading tens of thousands of grocery workers in significant strikes across California, Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia. His commitment to working people continues to inspire our movement today.
Rest in Peace!
