United Food and Commercial Workers International President Joe Hansen issued the following statement praising Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson's leadership in Congress and commitment to working Americans.
“On behalf of the 1.3 million members of the UFCW, I commend Congresswoman Johnson for standing with working families in 2011. Receiving an ‘A’ on the UFCW Congressional Scorecard shows her commitment to creating jobs, growing the middle class, and protecting workers’ rights. In a Congress where an overwhelming majority of members received F’s, Congresswoman Johnson stood out as a true champion of workers. I look forward to working with her to accomplish even greater things in 2012.”
UFCW is North America’s Neighborhood Union—1.3 million members standing together to improve the lives and livelihoods of workers, families, and communities. UFCW is America's youngest union, with the greatest percentage of members under the age of 35 of any other union.
