Local 1000A and UFCW Canada Local 206 merged on May 1, 2016 to form UFCW Canada Local 1006A.
It was a call to action that completely changed Rob Spencer’s life.
A little more than a year ago, Spencer was sitting and listening to the different speakers at the 2011 Stewards’ Conference when President Pearl Sawyer came on stage.
The voice of business is being heard in the political arena and now, she said, it was time for the working class to be heard. If we don’t speak up, she asked, who will?

Workers from Chubb Edwards Hamilton became the newest members of the Local 1000A family as they voted strongly in favour of union representation on April 25, 2012.
Local 1000A President Pearl Sawyer led a strong local union delegation, including members, activists, and staff, to Queen’s Park on April 21 to protest the Ontario government’s original proposed budget, which put the needs of corporations ahead of those of working families.
"Many of our members work part-time and depend on the very services this government threatens to cut,"said Local 1000A president Pearl Sawyer. “Those in power need to know working families are already struggling across Ontario and protecting the rich at the expense of these families through these cuts is not the answer to a prosperous Ontario."
