United Food and Commercial Workers President Mark Perrone is expected to announce his retirement this week, according to sources close to the union’s leadership. UFCW has 1.3 million members in the U.S. and Canada, mainly in grocery and meatpacking. A special meeting of the union’s 55-person International Executive Board has been called for May 13. The board is expected to choose Perrone’s successor there. UFCW presidents are supposed to be elected by delegates to the union’s conventions, which occur every five years.

Twenty-one days without running water. A week before any cell service or internet. Hospitals closed, and thousands of houses swept away. Not long after developers started trumpeting the city of Asheville, North Carolina, as a “climate haven” from coastal storms, the area experienced catastrophic flooding. Upland Tennessee and North Carolina were the hardest hit by Hurricane Helene on September 27. For restaurant workers, the crisis is still getting worse, says Miranda Escalante, a hotel bartender and co-chair of Asheville Food & Beverage United, an organization of restaurant workers.
