David Cook

Proud President of @UFCW655 representing more than 10,000 hard-working men and women.

[David Cook @dcook655]

It’s happening right now. Call and stop these people from taking your sick days away

[UFCW Local 655 @UFCW655]

Missourians said they wanted paid sick days. Politicians that work part time want to take them away. You know what to do.

[David Cook @dcook655]

Former President Donald Trump dehumanized immigrants last weekend. We cannot continue to accept such rank hatred and division, especially in the fight for economic justice

I guess I won

[David Cook @dcook655]

Every day I wake up and think about how workers that stand together are the foundation of building a better middle class. It is an honor to work for them.

[David Cook @dcook655]

Suddenly this one really hits home

[David Cook @dcook655]

Someone asked me why I’m running for re-election so I decided to take out my phone and tell you

[David Cook @dcook655]

If you want to know what I’ve done, and what I will continue to do when re-elected as President of Local 655, just click the link

[David Cook @dcook655]

One take. No edits. Just me. This is why you should re-elect the Cook Ticket.

[David Cook @dcook655]

For the first time in 13 years as President, I have a challenger for re-election. Fortunately, my partners know what we’ve accomplished together, and they know the choice is clear

[David Cook @dcook655]

A few thoughts on the political distractions these days

[AFL-CIO ✊ @AFLCIO]

We know, you know, & @POTUS knows working people are NOT the cause of inflation.

He saw right past economic "experts" who told him lowering wages was how we lower inflation.

"Maybe if we get the excess profits of corporate America down we lower it." #BidenBringsBackJobs

[David Cook @dcook655]

I may be pale, male and stale but I still wear my pronoun button. Unions support *all* workers

[UFCW Local 655 @UFCW655]

A word on pronouns for #pridemonth

[David Cook @dcook655]

I’m sick of turning on the news and finding out children have been killed. Something must be done.

[David Cook @dcook655]

It was a pleasure talking about the issues that matter to workers everywhere. Thanks for having me! #1u

[America's Work Force @AWFUnionPodcast]

President @dcook655 of @UFCW655 appeared on the AWF Union Podcast and discussed the dangers of automation and how technology will displace the working class. He also touched on a new CBA for Schnucks union workers. Listen: https://t.co/sxnX9ZGB7t

[David Cook @dcook655]

Welcome to the family!

[UFCW Local 655 @UFCW655]

And just like that, our union family just got a little bigger. We are happy to report that workers at Bloom Medicinals just voted to join the Local 655 family! #cannabisindustry #CannabisWorkers #UFCW #CannabisWorkersRising

[David Cook @dcook655]

When we say all workers we mean ALL. WORKERS.

[UFCW Local 655 @UFCW655]

Until Missouri makes changes to the law, it remains legal in this state to discriminate against LGBTQ+ folks. Until the law is changed, the best protection they have from discrimination at work is a union contract. We stand with ALL workers. Happy #PrideMonth

[David Cook @dcook655]

I have no words for what happened in Texas yesterday. I don’t have answers either. All I know is that it shouldn’t be like this. Something must change.

[David Cook @dcook655]

That’s the language we have in this contract. That’s what the future can be.

The so-called “gig economy” can change. It can be better. It can me flexible hours and schedules but with benefits, real benefits, for all those workers.

[David Cook @dcook655]

After a long few months of bargaining I’m happy to say we’ve approved a great new union contract with @SchnuckMarkets.

The men and women working at these stores showed up every day during a pandemic. They are essential. It’s time for the public to recognize that

[UFCW Local 655 @UFCW655]

56% in favor
44% opposed

We have a new three year contract with Schnucks!

[David Cook @dcook655]

The so-called gig economy is already here. So let’s make sure those workers have the flexibility to decide their own schedules but also enjoy ALL THE BENEFITS of being a union member.

This can be the future. This can be what millions of workers enjoy.
