UFCW Local 1776 represents workers in the state of Pennsylvania for the United Food and Commercial Workers. The larger majority of their members work in grocery stores. The number 1776 refers to the year that the United States Declaration of Independence was drafted in Philadelphia, rather than it being a sequential number of local unions.
