What Our Members Say

  • Roberta, Stop & Shop

    Being on the negotiating committee for Stop & Shop meant so much to me. It meant I got to be the voice for my coworkers, and join my voice with the thousands of others from across New England to make sure we got the best contract we could.

  • Selene, Food Bazaar

    With our union, we have health insurance and a real pension, and guaranteed time off. We also fought to have the option to have a 401k and are now able to have an additional way to save for retirement!

  • Jeannine Morrissete, Stop & Shop

    I have been a proud Local 371 member for decades. The health insurance helped me keep my family safe, the paid holidays and vacation time made sure I had work and family balance, and now, my union pension means I can retire with dignity!
