Lucy first learned the importance of union membership working for Safeway in Southern California.  The active union membership taught her that standing together is part of life for working people.  She worked there for six years, then in 1993, moved to the Columbia Gorge, where she continued her employment with Safeway in Hood River, Oregon. She worked there for another seven years and was a union steward in her store for four of those years. As a steward, she was active in the labor movement, attending the first annual Local 555 Steward Summit, the 1999 WTO rally in Seattle, and as many steward and quarterly union meetings as her schedule would allow. She actively advocated for her fellow members and encouraged them to become involved as well. Lucy is now a representative on staff with UFCW Local 555. She has been with 555 for over six years. Lucy brings first-hand grocery experience with her which helps her to relate to our members in the industry.
