Local 1000A and UFCW Canada Local 206 merged on May 1, 2016 to form UFCW Canada Local 1006A.
The Equal Pay Coalition has succeeded in putting forth amendments to the Putting Students First Act, a controversial piece of legislation that imposes wage freezes on teachers and takes away their right to strike.
The changes ensure that pay equity adjustments are not affected by the compensation freeze under the new legislation. Local 1000A is a member of the Equal Pay Coalition and has been active in advocating for pay equity for decades.
After several draft exchanges between your Union and the Company, Local 1000A is pleased to announce hard copies of the Loblaws Great Food appendices and letters of understanding covering Loblaws Great Food workers are being printed and will be available for distribution by the end of the month. In order for our members to access this information as quickly as possible, we have also uploaded an electronic “draft” of the Loblaws Great Food booklet online. The full Collective Agreement covering Loblaws Conventional, RCSS and Great Food is over 450 pages.
