Strong Strike Mandate Needed
Negotiations resumed October 26, 2011 however, talks stalled late in the day as progress was not being made.
The union continues to advance its members concerns and very difficult issues remain unresolved.
A strong strike mandate from the membership is needed in order to show Loblaw Companies Ltd and its No Frills Franchise owners we stand together and are prepared to do what is necessary in order to maintain what we have struggled for over the years and make further advancements within the workplace.
While at this point, no further bargaining dates have been scheduled, it is time for your voices to be heard.
