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.

"I see firsthand how our union helps create a respectful, fair, and supportive environment. We have a voice, and that makes a real difference in how we’re treated every day."

Local 1006A members working for Plaza Premium Lounge at Pearson Airport ratified a union contract following a difficult set of negotiations with their employer.

Members work at a variety of sites, including Princess Margaret Hospital, Mount Sinai Hospital, Humber River Health, and retirement homes and food service locations throughout the GTA.

“The wage increase was definitely a highlight,” said Manasha Perera, a member of the union negotiating committee.

This October, Local 1006A’s three teams in London, Toronto, and Ottawa raised nearly $24,000 for the LLSC.

UFCW 1006A members working at Ryder Supply Chain Solutions in Caledon made significant gains in their new union contract.

"My union has made a difference in my life by ensuring I have a minimum amount of hours."

The conference theme was Stronger Than Any Moment as participants marked the 10-year anniversary of 1006A.

UFCW 1006A members at the Baton Rouge Grillhouse & Bar in Ottawa have ratified a new union contract.
