The United Food and Commercial Workers Union is North America's largest private sector union. The UFCW is made up of 1.4 million members. UFCW members are employed in many different industries, but concentrated in retail food, meatpacking, poultry, and other food processing industries. While being focused in the previous industries, thousands of other UFCW members work in the health care industry, for insurance companies, in department stores, and in the garment manufacturing, distillery and winery, chemical, and textile trades. Some of the more notable companies that employ UFCW workers are Kroger, Meijer, Macy's, and Bloomingdale's.

UFCW has an ongoing campaign attempting to organize Wal-Mart workers, but they have had no success so far.

UFCW is affiliated with the AFL-CIO
