RE: CANCELLATION OF SHIFTS
Loblaw Supermarkets Ltd has been cancelling a number of shifts on a weekly basis at many of its Great Food and Real Canadian Superstore locations. These cancellations have been occurring on a systematic basis. It is your union's belief there may be shifts that were cancelled in violation of our members' rights under the collective agreement.
After several draft exchanges between your Union and the Company, Local 1000A is pleased to announce hard copies of the Loblaws Real Canadian Superstore (RCSS) appendices and letters of understanding covering RCSS 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 RCSS booklet online. Earlier this year, the draft Collective Agreement covering Great Food was published. The full Collective Agreement covering Loblaws Conventional, RCSS and Great Food is over 450 pages.

Following a ratification vote, the production of the collective agreement booklets is an intensive process. The union and the employer work together to ensure all negotiated changes are correctly incorporated into the new collective agreement. This is a very lengthy and arduous process as every word and every detail is important.
As such, the production of the 2010-2015 collective agreement for Loblaws, Loblaws Great Food and Real Canadian Superstore is still in progress.
