Dear Local 2013 Members,

As Thanksgiving approaches, it is important for all of us to take time and give thanks to our friends, family, and all those who are most important in our lives. In that spirit, all of us across our UFCW Local 2013 and International Union family want to express our deepest gratitude to you and all our fellow hard-working UNION Members for what you do every single day.

More than any other union, the UFCW helps feed, care, and serve millions of families – and the special role we play is even more significant during the holiday season. Never doubt for a moment the essential role you play, not just on Thanksgiving but every single day.

From grocery stores, to meatpacking, and from healthcare, and across all of the service industries and food processing… your hard work will ensure that countless families can gather and celebrate with their loved ones throughout this holiday season.

For all of your tireless efforts, and for all you do for your family and ours, we sincerely thank you. May you and all your loved ones have a safe, joyous, and happy holiday season.

Sincerely,

President Louis Mark Carotenuto
