Congratulations to Caitlyn McPhaden from the Real Canadian Superstore in Ajax! Caitlyn takes home the August prize of $70 in PC gift cards for her winning entry in Local 1000A's Share Your Story contest!
Caitlyn's Entry: "My union, UFCW Canada Local 1000A, has made a difference in my life, it has given me comfort and stability for the past four years while working at the Real Canadian Superstore. This year was a difficult time for my family and I as we lost both of my grandfathers less than 5 months apart. This challenging time was made easier by the bereavement time I was able to receive. The union ensured that I would not have to worry about losing a job that I rely on to pay for my schooling. The protection and job security the union has provided me has made the process easier and I could not be more thankful for the hard work they put in to ensure employees like myself are treated fairly and given the necessary time to grieve."Have you submitted your story for a chance to win?
