Seeking fairness and respect at their workplace, LensCrafters workers at Fairview Mall in Toronto strongly voted Friday, March 22, 2013 for union representation through UFCW Canada Local 1000A. They are the sixth group of LensCrafters workers to join the local union.
"On behalf of Local 1000A, I am proud to congratulate the workers at the LensCrafters location in Fairview Mall for the courage, strength and determination they showed in coming together to achieve this victory for their future," said President Pearl Sawyer.
Local 1000A represents five other LensCrafters stores at the Eaton's Centre, Yorkdale Mall, Markham's Markville Mall, Newmarket's Upper Canada Mall and Burlington's Mapleview Centre.
“The workers wanted to be treated with fairness, respect and dignity in their workplace and they felt joining a union was the best way to achieve their goals,” said Jonathan Lobo, a UFCW Canada Local1000A Organizer who helps workers win rights in their workplace.
