In Memory of Sister Andrea Zinder
Hi sisters, brothers and friends,
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the loss of our sister, Andrea Zinder, President of UFCW Local 324 and International Vice President from Region 8. A friend to many and a sister, in unity, to us all.
Andrea showed us what it means to fight for working people, and she taught us to keep one another lifted along the way.
Andrea was a brilliant union leader, a fierce advocate, and a beloved mentor. She understood the power of women’s leadership. In 1990, she was part of the founding convention of the UFCW Women’s Network in Colorado. Over the years, she served in several roles with the Network, and even when she stepped back to make room for others, she never stopped being one of its strongest supporters.
Andrea didn’t just believe in the mission of the Women’s Network—she lived it. She was always ready to lend a hand, share her wisdom, and take her place on the picket line. At the bargaining table, she was fearless yet wise. Her compass was always clear: the well-being of UFCW members came first. Every decision, every negotiation, every rally she led was rooted in dignity for working families.
Though we mourn her passing deeply, and though her loss to our UFCW family is profound, we will carry her spirit forward—every time we bargain, every time we march, every time we choose solidarity.
Rest in power, President Zinder. Your work lives on in all of us.
