Canada’s leading union, UFCW Canada, is calling on activists, friends, and supporters to boycottAnheuser-Busch InBev’s imported products. For more than three months, the Labatt’s Brewing Company (a subsidiary of transnational ABInBev) has forced its employees in St. John’s Newfoundland out on strike for basic fairness.
Local 1000A’s Executive Board has elected Kevin Benn to fill the vacant Secretary-Treasurer position effective July 31, 2013 in accordance with the UFCW Canada constitution and the local union by-laws. He will serve for the balance of the term ending December 31, 2016.
“Kevin is an outstanding trade unionist who will bring a wealth of knowledge and experience into his new role,” said President Pearl Sawyer. “With his unwavering commitment to Local 1000A’s membership, I have every confidence he will make an exceptional Secretary-Treasurer.”
UFCW Canada Local 1000A wishes everyone a Happy Labour Day.
We are food and retail workers and we are proud to stand up for fairness and justice for all workers.
Join us on Sept 2 (8:30 a.m.) at the corner of Queen St and University Ave.
