Local 1000A and UFCW Canada Local 206 merged on May 1, 2016 to form UFCW Canada Local 1006A.
Local 1000A went pink on April 10, 2013 to mark the International Day of Pink against bullying, discrimination, homophobia and transphobia in our schools, workplaces and communities. The day was an opportunity to celebrate the great diversity within our union and society and to take a stand against bullying.
In a modern twist on a historical tradition, UFCW Canada Local 1000A brought the union back to the kitchen table by hosting its first-ever telephone town hall on March 5, 2013. The one-hour event was geared towards local union stewards and divisional officers from Loblaws Great Food and Loblaws Real Canadian Superstore—many of whom listened in and participated from the comfort of their homes.
