Here are the steps to joining our Union:
3. Vote for UFCW Canada Local 1006A
The Ontario Labour Relations Board will conduct a secret ballot vote to determine if the majority of workers in your workplace want a union to represent them.
Voting is completely confidential and your employer will not know how anyone voted. All workers can vote.
If the majority vote ‘YES’ to union representation, UFCW Canada Local 1006A will be certified as the legal bargaining agent for your workplace. From this point on, we will negotiate on your behalf and represent you if you face any problems at work.
4. We voted YES! What happens next?
As a member of UFCW Canada Local 1006A, you will have highly skilled and experienced union representatives working hard to make life better for you and your co-workers.
Union negotiators, along with worker representatives from your workplace, will negotiate a union contract with your employer. The union contract will cover your wages, benefits, vacation, job security, working conditions and much more.
Once your union negotiators reach a fair agreement, they will bring it to the membership for a vote. For the contract to be approved, a majority of workers must vote for the agreement.

“Every person is free to join a trade union of the person’s own choice and to participate in its lawful activities.”
— Ontario Labour Relations Act
Your right to join a union is protected under Ontario labour law. Your employer is not allowed to interfere with the rights of you and your co-workers to form a union.
The road to improving your working conditions and your future begins with union representation.
Individually, a worker has little to no power in the workplace. When workers come together through their union, they gain tremendous power to transform their wages, benefits and working conditions for the better.
Employers, for this very reason, often try to prevent their employees from joining the union because they want to maintain power and control over their staff.
Union representation empowers workers and ensures their voices are heard. You have a right to join a union and have input over your wages, benefits and working conditions and together with your co-workers, you can make sure that happens.
Here are some of the many benefits of being a member of UFCW Canada Local 1006A
Improved working conditions
Greater bargaining power to negotiate better wages, benefits, pensions and vacation
Strong Union Contracts
Protection against unjust discipline or management harassment
Scholarships and free online college accredited courses for you and your family
A voice for safe and healthy working conditions
Respect in the workplace
Overtime pay
Seniority rights when it comes to scheduling, vacation and job security
Union organizers help workers without a union win rights in their workplace. If you are ready to join or have more questions, give us a shout.
