Meet UFCW Local 663

Raquel Avila (She/Her)

Office Coordinator--Worthington

Raquel moved to the U.S from Zapopan, Mexico in 2007 with her two brothers and parents. A graduate from Dassel Cokato High school in 2011, she worked at New Fashion Pork for five years as a breeding and farrowing technician, then Monogram Meat Snacks for two years as a machine operator. Raquel joined the UFCW 663 union family in Worthington, MN in August of 2019. Raquel has worked environments where all the workers spoke Spanish, and only the boss spoke English. Being bilingual, she would be able to help both parties understand each other. Raquel values helping her community, especially people that don’t speak the language, and she feels she understands their situation completely because she’s been there before. Raquel knows no matter their race or skin color there is a place where they belong, and the union can be their support. She is very involved in the church, and currently is a coordinator for one of the choirs.
