This new benefit notification will be coming in the mail. We’re not selling it but it is sanctioned by Local 1459. American Life is a union insurance company. This is being offered as a supplemental insurance with no obligation to purchase.
Local 1459 joined our fellow UFCW Locals to push Essential Worker pay and define Essential Worker as everyone who is a member of Local 1459.
Business Representative, Chris Adams, whishes Holyoke DPW employee, Ed Eckert, a happy retirement after 33 years with the city.
Thank you, Ed, for all of the time and dedication that you put into the Union throughout your career. We hope you enjoy every moment of your retirement!

UFCW 1459 Members, Peggy Staf and Michael Mattern, show their support for the Pro Act. Our outdated labor laws no longer protect our right to form and join unions. The Protecting the Right to Organize Act is how our laws catch up. Stronger unions mean higher wages, safer working conditions and dignity for all who work.
