BUILDING A BETTER FUTURE
UFCW has a program designed to enlist rank-and-file members to train as Organizers or Union Representatives.
Once approved, SPURs will be taken out of their company on a Union leave of absence for 90 days or longer. SPURs are intended to be involved primarily in organizing and representation but may be assigned to other projects or departments.
Special Project Union Rep
SPUR Internship Program
Would you like to learn more about our Union and how you can make a difference? Do you have any special skills that could benefit Local 367 and the membership?
SPUR's will receive extensive training to take back into their worksites after completion of the program. This means that you have the ability to go back to the company that you worked for prior to your assignment with the exact same wages, hours, benefits, and position but with a greater sense of power and ability as a leader.
Expected Activities Include:
Working individually or in pairs with Union Representatives and Organizers. Assignments could involve making home calls, doing research, and educating workers about the benefits of Union membership.
Developing blitzes and following up on organizing leads at non-union stores and plants.
Attending City Council Meetings and Issue-based community and political work.
Work pertaining to representation and membership services.
We welcome members to share their skills, whether in tech, social media, communications, or other areas.
For more information regarding the SPUR program, contact your Union Rep.
Attending Rallies and/or Press Conferences.
