At ratification meetings held around the province from June 14 to June 20, 2015, UFCW Canada Local 1000A members working at Loblaws Great Food and Superstore voted to reject the tentative memorandum of agreement recently reached between the union negotiating committee and the company.
The final percentages will be provided early this week once all segregated ballots have been considered, but the fact the tentative agreement was rejected won’t change.
Your union is ramping up strike preparations.
As part of the preparations, picket captains have been called upon for training which will be conducted this week.
Your union will also be informing UFCW Canada's National Office, the International Union and the National Defense Fund Administrator of the results of the vote and that we have commenced strike preparations.
Your union will be reaching out to the company to advise of the membership’s rejection of the tentative agreement and to seek a return to the negotiations table.
Please continue to monitor the union website for further details.
Your union will also endeavour to continue with phone call updates when possible and email blasts.
If you have not provided your union with your cell number, home number and email address, please ensure you do so in order to receive information in a timely fashion. Update your contact information here.
