Former NFL player Israel Idonije visited the historic tannery in Chicago to learn more about how the UFCW works together with management to ensure both high quality leather and good, sustainable jobs.

“You talk about a brotherhood, a sisterhood, a union—a family—and the commitment of people working together to support one another. It’s really special,” said Idonije.

“Just because you don’t agree on everything doesn’t mean you can’t work together,” says Skip Horween, president of Horween. “We do recognize that we are in this together.”

UFCW members also make Russell Stover, Ghiradelli and Hershey’s candies in preparation for Valentine’s Day. Members of UFCW Local 5 who make See’s Candies craft each chocolate confection by hand. The Food Network’s Tyler Florence visited UFCW Local 5 members at the See’s Candies factory in San Francisco and got a peek at how these Valentine’s Day treats are made. You can view the video here.

“Growing up with them was awesome,” said Sacramento customer Rachel Martini, who in town from the east coast visiting family. “Literally every time I eat See’s, it’s a little bite of nostalgia. Walking into the shops is a literal treat too. They’re always so kind and inviting and give you free chocolates to try while you walk around. It’s something that hasn’t changed a bit in the last 25 years.”

You can pair your chocolates with sparkling wines made by members of UFCW Local 186D, including Andre Champagne, JFJ Champagne, Tott’s Champagne and Wycliff Champagne.

UFCW members also have access to exclusive discounts for Valentine’s Day gifts and beyond, including 25 percent off on flowers and gift baskets. Register here for these discounts and make someone’s Valentine’s Day special.

The company takes pride in the talented UFCW members whose skills can be seen in the high quality of the final product. Despite the leather’s sheen, which can give the appearance of being slippery, the proprietary “tanned in tack” finish actually means the ball gets stickier after being buffed a few times, making it easier to grip. A 1,000-ton press with special German-made embossing plates gives the leather its distinctive pebbling.

Take a peak inside the historic plant and learn more about how the leather is made in this video:
