UNITED FOOD AND COMMERCIAL WORKERS UNION LOCAL 328 ENDORSES ANGEL TAVERAS FOR MAYOR

PROVIDENCE - Angel Taveras announced today that he has received the endorsement of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union, Local 328 (UFCW).  

The UFCW Local 328 represents approximately 12,000 members, making them one of the largest local unions in Southeastern New England, with over 8,000 members in Rhode Island.  UFCW Local 328 is part of the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union. The International Union represents over 1.4 million working men and women throughout the United States and Canada.

“I am proud to have the support of the hardworking men and women of Local 328.” said Taveras. “I kicked off my campaign outside of an abandoned supermarket because Providence needs a Mayor who will focus on creating good-paying jobs and growing our city's economy.  As a young man, I also worked in that supermarket when it was called Star Market and was a proud member of Local 328 at the time.  I am proud to return to my roots and receive the support of one of the biggest organizations in the capital city."
