Nathan Bishop, who works at Giorgio's No Frills in Hamilton, knows first hand the difference a union can make.
"I was working 40 hours and even though I was hired full-time, I was getting paid at a part-time rate. My Union Rep raised the issue with my new owner and helped make sure I got paid correctly for the hours I had worked." – Mark Zanin, No Frills.
UFCW Canada Local 1006A members working at No Frills voted 80 per cent in favour of a new collective agreement with franchise owners at membership meetings and polling stations across Ontario.
Members voted on the six year deal at more than 60 meetings and polls.
