We are proud to welcome you to the Web Site of UFCW Local 408, a respected and influential
labor organization representing more than 3,000 workers in Houston, San Antonio, Rio Grande
Valley, South &; East Texas. We have created this Web Site to provide both our membership and
the general public with the most efficient and modern access to information regarding our union.
It tells you who we are, how we operate, your rights and responsibilities as a member, and the
services that your dues dollars help provide. Members of Local 408 are an important part of a
democratic organization, one with a very important goal: to help workers obtain and hold onto
better paychecks, job security, decent fringe benefits and justice on the job. Local 408 attains
these goals through the support, unity, and involvement of members, just like you; and through
community and political involvement. As a union member your interests on the job are protected
by your specially trained union steward, by Local 408's highly experienced staff representatives.
Additionally, the union brings a wealth of experience to the negotiating table, producing some of
the best labor contracts in the country for our membership. It's important that you understand
how Local 408 operates-after all, the wages and benefits set forth in the contract bargained with
your employer have a lot to do with the way you live. Local 408 is here to serve. If you have
problems on the job, we want you to turn to us for help. We believe you'll find being a part of
Local 408 a rewarding experience. I speak for all of us when I again wish you a warm welcome.

Thanks for visiting the Local 408 website
