UFCW OUTreach is a constituency group dedicated to building mutual support between our unionβs International, regions, and locals and the Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (2SLGBTQ+) communities and their allies in order to come together to organize for social and economic justice for all, regardless of age, race, gender, creed, color, immigration status, gender expression, sexual orientation, or gender identity. Together, we will ensure full equality for 2SLGBTQ+ workers on their jobs and in their unions.

Read the Study
A UCLA report published October 8 found that advocacy efforts by rank-and-file members of the United Food and Commercial Workers broadly support union organizing for safer and more equitable workplaces for LGBTQ workers in the U.S. and Canada, but the fight toward ending workplace discrimination is far from over.
The researchers hope that the findings can inform discussions and strengthen union organizing related to equity for LGBTQ workers across industries. The report was a collaboration between the UCLA Labor Center and the United Food and Commercial Workers OUTreach, an LGBTQ advocacy group within the union.
The researchers surveyed 1,004 United Food and Commercial Workers members, one-third of whom identified as LGBTQ, in regions across the U.S. and Canada. UFCW members work in a variety of industries, including grocery, retail, health care, meatpacking and food processing, and cannabis.
Labor unions are providing necessary layer of protection for LGBTQ workers
