On Thursday April 3, our union members grabbed bullhorns, hoisted up informational picket signs, and marched outside of Fred Meyers and QFCs across Puget Sound to fight for better wages, better staffing, and better stores. We also had a clear message when each picket ended, "We'll be back!"

At 5:30 pm today, March 27, our union will join labor and community organizations in a demonstration at the NW Detention Center to protest the detention of longtime labor leader Alfredo “Lelo” Juarez and SEIU 925 UW lab tech Lewelyn Dixon.

This is a gross violation of all of our rights to due process and the right to remain silent: "Alvaro Juarez said his brother was exercising his right to remain silent when pulled over by ICE agents who then smashed his window and pulled him from the car as his wife watched in horror."

By targeting workers like Lelo—and, reportedly, a union lab tech at the University of Washington—the Trump administration clearly aims to terrorize immigrant workers no matter how they came to this country.

Self-checkout machines don’t automate anything. Like banks replacing tellers with ATMs, this “fauxtomation” simply masks a transfer of paid labor to unpaid labor. In our case, grocery companies shifted work from one paid cashier to thousands of volunteer cashiers—namely, customers.

This isn’t a TV show. FTC commissioners do serious work. They took action when workers stood up to block the proposed merger between Kroger and Albertsons, halting a near monopoly on groceries. Trump’s decision to fire them is illegal, so they should simply ignore him. ufcw3000.org/news/2025/3/...
