Your union is inviting you to join us for the Take Back the Night event at Gage Park in Brampton on September 15, 2016 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
UFCW Canada Local 1000A was proud to participate in the International Day of Pink on April 13, 2016!
Union members, staff and executive joined in taking a stand against bullying, discrimination, homophobia and transphobia in our schools, workplaces and communities by participating.
I am pleased to announce UFCW Canada Local 1000A members have voted 87 per cent in favour of a historic merger with UFCW Canada Local 206, leading to the creation of our new local union, UFCW Canada Local 1006A.
The membership also voted 85 per cent in favour of local union bylaw amendments, which expanded the executive board.
The votes took place at membership meetings from March 29 to April 6, 2016 in 29 cities across Ontario and were open to all Local 1000A members. Members had the opportunity to hear a presentation, participate and vote at these meetings.
Following final approval by the International Union, the membership’s approval of the agreement creates a new UFCW Canada local union effective May 1, 2016.
This historic merger is a win-win for the memberships of our two great local unions.
A merger brings additional strength, stability and resources and support when we take on employers at the bargaining table or advocate on issues of importance to our members.
Under clear blue skies, hundreds flocked to Boyd Conservation Area in Vaughan on August 7, 2010 for Local 1000A's fourth and final Community Action Network (CAN) BBQ picnic of the year. Members from Toronto and the surrounding areas brought their families and friends to the day-long event which featured several activities including soccer, an iron-chef cooking contest, a jumping castle, face-painting, balloon toss, potato sack races, bingo and an all-you-can-eat BBQ.
