This committee's own pages do not say what it is for. Its largest funder, United Food & Commercial Workers International Union, gave 99.6% of its money this cycle ($6.1M), and describes its purpose:
“The United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW) is a labor union made up of 1.2 million hard-working men and women in the U.S. and Canada. We are a 501(c)(5) nonprofit organization that believes in the power of ordinary people coming together to improve their lives and make a lasting difference for all working people.”

United Food & Commercial Workers International Union is a tax-exempt organization that does not have to disclose its own donors.

The statement is filed under topics from a fixed list, chosen by AI models when two of three agree; which side it takes is in its own words. A funder’s share is of this committee’s total receipts, from its itemized FEC filings.

We hold employers accountable for safer workplaces.
Maintaining a safe workplace is an ongoing process and everyone is responsible for doing their part.
Our staff, stewards, and safety monitors work every day to ensure companies rigorously follow safety programs to the letter of the law, regulation, and our contracts, even as we fight in Washington, D.C., and in state capitals for stronger safety rules.
Safety programs and rules are only as good as their enforcement by government agencies like the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

Opposing increased line speeds in poultry, swine, and beef processing plants
Meat and poultry processing workers are highly trained professionals who serve as an extra layer of protection for consumers when it comes to food safety.
Even at current line speeds, these workers face risks that can lead to severe injury, illness, and even death.

Without a union contract, workers can be fired for almost any reason — or no reason at all.
This is known as “at-will” employment, which is standard in the United States.
Having a union means that your company cannot discharge or discipline you without a very good reason, and gives you the right to challenge the decisions your company makes about discharge and discipline.

The UFCW supports legislation that would update and strengthen the Equal Pay Act by closing loopholes and improving its effectiveness.
The Paycheck Fairness Act would make it harder for employers to hide pay discrimination while rewarding employers with good pay practices.
It also calls for programs to train women and girls in salary negotiation strategies.

When you have a union contract, you get a say in how your workplace changes, but many workers who aren’t represented by a union don’t.
That’s why we support legislative efforts to regulate AI technology and ensure that every worker has a workplace where their privacy and safety take priority over everything else.
Surveillance pricing and electronic shelf labels
Grocery retail chains are rapidly expanding their use of Electronic Shelf Labels (ESLs), which can change prices remotely and in real time.

Our labor laws need to be strengthened to prevent irresponsible employers from intimidating workers who are fighting for a voice in their workplace.
The UFCW has long championed the passage of the PRO Act, which would strengthen workers’ bargaining power and their right to join a union, penalize predatory corporations, safeguard the right to strike, and eliminate “right-to-work” laws.
We also support any measure that would end the misclassification of workers as independent contractors, or “gig workers,” which allows companies to avoid paying fair wages and benefits.

Immigrants and refugees have enriched the fabric of our communities and our workforce since our nation’s founding.
Our current immigration system is broken, allowing unscrupulous companies to exploit immigrant and guest workers by paying them less than they would pay U.S.-born workers.
Undercutting wages for temporary and immigrant workers lowers wages for U.S.-born workers as well.

Worker misclassification is the practice of labeling a worker as an independent contractor rather than an employee.
Misclassification is a growing and troubling trend for workers in every industry, including the nearly one million retail grocery workers who belong to the UFCW.
Employers use misclassification to avoid paying fair wages, payroll taxes, and benefits such as unemployment insurance.

The NLRB protects the rights of workers fighting for a voice on the job and works to balance the needs of employers, unions, and employees nationwide.
A fully funded DOL and NLRB are necessary to protect workers’ rights and safety, enforce employment anti-discrimination laws, and investigate labor law violations.

Each part reads different filings, so counts and totals can differ.
Direct PAC contributions and independent expenditures explicitly reported as support, by the party of the candidate they went to.
No candidate-directed contributions or explicitly supportive independent expenditures were returned.
Contributions are reported money, not endorsements; a PAC giving to both parties is common.
Every contribution on line 23 of the committee’s own Schedule B, which is the filing its summary totals are built from. That line covers federal candidates, party committees and other political committees alike, so a super PAC funding other super PACs appears here rather than under candidate giving.
| Recipient | Count | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Other PACs and committees | 3 | $3.8M · 100% |
| All recipients | 3 | $3.8M |
No recipient here is matched to a candidate with a state on record.
Bars drawn to $1.9M, the largest gift total here. 2025–2026 filings.
Nothing loaded
Candidate contribution rows come from candidate committee Schedule A filings, the same rows the party chart above counts.
Money moving between this committee and other committees, matched on FEC committee ID rather than the name each filing was typed under. Both sides exclude memo entries. The figures here count each committee once, from the itemized transfers read for this section, so they will not match the payment counts under Who this PAC gave to.
Committees that reported giving to this one on their own Schedule A filings, grouped by the giver’s committee ID.
No committee-to-committee receipts were itemized this cycle.
Disbursements this committee itemized to another committee: candidate contributions, party transfers and payments alike, not contributions only.

The people, firms and committees paid the most, across every kind of payment. Each share is of everything the committee reported spending this cycle, not only the itemized payments above. A payee that is itself a committee links to its own profile.
$10.2M spent from Jan 2025 to Oct 2026. Most in one report: $2.9M, Jul 1 – Sep 30, 2026.
The running total of what the committee’s FEC reports say it spent, independent expenditures included, with a point at the end of each report. The line is straight between reports because a report gives one total for its whole period.
