Daniel Ross, Jr.
President
Daniel Ross began his career in the labor movement in July 2000. His early years focused on organizing workers in nursing homes and manufacturing facilities while assisting the UFCW International Union on regional organizing campaigns. These early years would forge lasting relationships with workers and labor leaders alike.
Over the years, Danny became known for his ability to connect with workers through honest, down-to-earth communication and a genuine respect for their experiences both on and off the job. His approach to labor has strengthened workers’ confidence in the UFCW and helped deliver stronger contracts that have improved the lives of union members.
Danny worked his way through the ranks of UFCW Local 152, serving as Organizer, Union Representative, Assistant Bargaining Director, Bargaining Director, and Executive Assistant to the President before being elected President in May 2024.
Speaking on the staff of Local 152, President Ross said, “Our mission is rooted in two words–unity and service. We have an incredible team that is committed to supporting working families, and they take great pride in standing alongside our members in the fight for fairness, dignity, and respect in the workplace.”
In addition to his union work, Danny also served for many years on the Board of Directors of the Bryan D. Ross Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization established in memory of his late brother. The Foundation provides financial assistance to Local 152 members and their families facing catastrophic illness, injury, hardship, or loss.
Since becoming President, Danny has also been elected Recorder for the UFCW NY/NJ District Council.
Danny graduated from Ridley High School in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, and attended Mansfield University. He resides in Burlington County, New Jersey, with his wife, Elizabeth, and their two daughters.
