Women's History Month and International Women's Day message from UFCW International President Milton Jones

Dear Sisters, Brothers, and Siblings,

On Sunday, March 8, we recognize International Women’s Day, a global celebration of women’s achievements and a call to continue advancing equity and opportunity in our union, workplaces, and communities. The day has its roots in the early 20th century organizing of women workers, who demanded fair wages, safer working conditions, and the right to have a voice on the job. Their courage and determination helped shape the movement for workers’ rights that continues to guide our work today.

That same spirit of solidarity lives on here at the UFCW.

Across our workplaces, women are stepping up and leading, organizing their co-workers, negotiating strong contracts, mentoring the next generation of leaders, and fighting every day for dignity and respect on the job. Their leadership makes our union stronger and helps build a better future for working families everywhere.

International Women’s Day also falls during Women’s History Month. This year’s theme, “Leading the Change: Women Shaping a Sustainable Future,” reflects exactly what we see across our union: women driving change, strengthening our movement, and helping to secure opportunities for the generations that will follow.

In solidarity,

Milton

Today in —and in honor of Women’s History Month—Norma Rae premiered in theaters on March 2, 1979. The film tells the story of a Southern textile worker, inspired by the real-life courage of Crystal Lee Sutton, who risks her job and reputation to stand up to a powerful mill and organize her coworkers into a union.
Norma Rae reminds us that when workers stand together in solidarity on the shop floor, they can challenge injustice, uplift their communities, and create lasting change. ✊🏽

Women don’t just make history — we organize it. ✊

From fair wages to dignity on the job, our voices move movements.
This Women’s History Month, we honor the women who show up, speak out, and never stop fighting for justice.

Today, thousands of Kaiser workers and allies stood strong, walking off the job at facilities across Southern California to protest the company’s unfair and unlawful conduct. Kaiser healthcare workers are standing up to demand that Kaiser return to National Bargaining and negotiate a fair contract.

Strikes took place at dozens of locations throughout Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, San Bernardino, Riverside, Ventura, and Kern Counties. Picket lines were filled with thousands of members and supporters, joined by union siblings from across California who came out in solidarity with Kaiser workers.

Pharmacy and lab employees will join striking Kaiser Permanente nurses and other health care workers as they enter the third week of a strike.

UFCW Local 1167 President Joe Duffle spent the day visiting stores throughout the Coachella Valley, meeting directly with members on the shop floor. He spoke with pharmacists ahead of the upcoming pharmacy negotiations on the 27th, listening to their concerns and discussing priorities as we prepare for bargaining.
With it being high season in the desert, President Duffle also took time to thank store members for their hard work and dedication during this busy time. Our members keep our communities running, and their commitment does not go unnoticed.
