Our Union Mourns the Passing of Bobby Shelven, UFCW 770 Executive Board Member.
Robert “Bobby” Shelven was a loving man. He loved his family and his Union. He worked at Ralphs for 20 years and became a Local 770 member in 1978. He was a Union member for 43 years and he served as Vice President of 770’s Executive Board from July 2013 until his passing on Sept.28, 2021.
Bobby used to say, “All comes from the heart. It is what you believe in and how willing you are to achieve it. The members are the union so we have to fight for what we believe in; the company is not going to give you anything. You are going to have to fight to get what we want.”
To his fellow union members, Bobby was a brother. And they were his family.
Particularly, Bobby admired Cheryl Butler because as a Union Rep. she fought for everyone, not just for Black workers.
“I always try to project my positivity to other people, especially when someone is less fortunate than myself. I'm not saying I'm way up there over the top, but I always want to treat everyone on the same level as an equal.”
As a frontline worker, Bobby shared that he was very proud of serving his community during Covid. Bobby’s wishes were that everyone could get back to a normal life after Covid.
Bobby Shelven was 60 years old and is survived by his wife Marta, his son Ryan and his 770 fellow union members. Bobby will be greatly missed. Bobby Shelven Presente!
