Ontario's Union for fairness, equality and respect at work.
Local 1000A Members at Dessureault’s Your Independent Grocer achieved wage increases and lump sums in their new agreement with the employer.
The agreement runs from August 19, 2012 to February 18, 2016 and covers 160 workers at the Gloucester store.
After four days of ratification meetings and polls across the province, members of UFCW Canada Local 1000A voted 57% to ratify an amended agreement with Loblaw Supermarkets Ltd. This means that the agreement was accepted by a majority of members who voted, so strike action scheduled for July 11 is cancelled.
More than 6,000 members voted, meaning voter turnout was slightly over 50 per cent.
