I was so excited when I got the call to participate in the second phase of UFCW Canada's Youth Internship Program in Ottawa. I took the first phase in 2016 and co-facilitated the Ontario program in 2017.
In addition to our work at the bargaining table, unions and the labour movement also advocate politically at all levels of government to help make life better for workers and families across Ontario.
On behalf of UFCW Canada Local 1006A, I’m proud to announce we have significantly expanded our popular Scholarship Program for 2018.
On December 21, workers at Red Lobster in Burlington voted overwhelmingly ‘YES’ to join Local 1006A.
