UFCW 876

Detroit H&M workers stand on business, becoming the FIRST location in Michigan to unionize with @UFCW876! With the power of the union, these workers are ready to get to the bargaining table for better pay, a safer workplace and a voice on the job! Let’s get to work.

As we welcome the new year, let's reflect on our achievements and set ambitious goals for the year ahead. Happy New Year! #UFCW876 #PresidentPedersen #NewYear #Hello2025

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians. I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor. My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California. That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people. Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime. It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand. I want to tune out. But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious. And I will always be an American before I am a Republican. That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious. For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing. The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better. It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed! But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems. It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful. We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger. That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz. Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us. And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. vote.org

There’s two sides, but only one that represents real change in this election: Kamala Harris Voiceover by the iconic Sam Elliott.

Madison Heights is fired up and ready to knock some doors! Stopped by a canvass launch this afternoon, thanked the ONE campaign team packing final literature heading out the door, and got some good time with some @UFCW876 members on exactly what they’re hearing from voters. They told me about a trend I’ve been hearing about everywhere: women voters who aren’t telling their husbands how they’re voting, but are ready to vote for Harris and Slotkin.

"Every moment is an organizing opportunity, every person a potential activist, every minute a chance to change the world." - Dolores Huerta As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, we honor the incredible contributions of Hispanic leaders like Dolores Huerta, whose activism continues to inspire generations. At UFCW 876, we are proud to stand alongside all workers in the fight for justice, equity, and dignity. This month, let's reflect on the power of unity and the potential for change in every moment. #UFCW876 #PresidentPedersen #HispanicHeritageMonth #DoloresHuerta #WorkersRights #Solidarity

"Remember that in order to vote, you have to be registered! I also find it’s much easier to vote early." - @taylorswift13 I also want to say, especially for first time voters, eligible citizens can register to vote & request their ballot to vote early at Michigan.gov/vote

Today, of all days, we set aside our differences. Today, we are not just Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. Today, we are all Americans first. Today we honor and remember the loss of innocence on 9/11. Let us never forget the bravery of the first responders and the strength of the entire nation. We will never forget. #UFCW876 #PresidentPedersen #NeverForget #911Remembrance #HonorAndRemember
