The two top Constitutional Officers are the President and Secretary-Treasurer. They are both involved in every aspect of the Local Union’s ongoing work on behalf of the members. Each grievance is personally read and signed by the President and Secretary-Treasurer and no contract is sent to the affected membership for ratification without having been approved by them both.
The President presides over the meetings of the Executive Board and quarterly Local Meetings. In addition, all activities of the Local Union are subject to the final approval of the President. The Secretary-Treasurer serves as the Chief Financial Officer of the Union and oversees the day-to-day operations of the various departments of the Union. The Executive Vice President is the third highest position in the Union’s leadership structure and serves the top officers, Executive Board members, and staff of Local 881 in an advisory capacity while also overseeing one or more departments. The Recorder reports and archives the minutes of each Local Union membership and Executive Board meeting. The Executive Board is comprised of rank-and-file Local 881 members as well as Local Union staff who provide oversight for the decisions and activities of the Local Union. The UFCW International Constitution and the Local 881 By-laws govern the duties of the Executive Board.
