Welcome to the all new
UFCW 555 website!

Over the last many months the Communications Department has been developing this new layout to the UFCW Local 555 website. Our goal continues to be finding ways to communicate with you, the members. This new look will make it easier for you to get information. We have a newsletter that you can sign up for along with many other features. Some features you will want to be aware of are:

• New User Registration - Unfortunately this move to a new format has required us to start from scratch with User Registration for the Members Area.
• Enhanced Frontpage Layout - This new front page will keep important issues on top while still being able to display other issues on the frontpage. Also you can click on the News menu heading to see a list of other articles from UFCW 555 and Labour Stat.
• Archived Articles - With this new website articles that get archived can still be read by going to the archives section of the website.
• Polls - From time to time UFCW plans events (Member Night Out) and we would like to hear from you on what type of activitiesyou want to see. Polls are a good way to get feedback from a large population.
• Exclusive Member Offers - Click on an image to be taken to the special offers area (requires registration) to see what types of discounts are available to UFCW Local 555 members.
• Calendar - Now the calendar is easy to access so you can know what is going on.
• Much More - Explore and find out!
