Kim-Kevin-Web1

Kim McCormick, a UFCW Local 1000A member who works at Brent's No Frills in Kitchener, speaks out about her union experience.

"My union rep, Kevin, is amazing. One day, I was talking to him about some concerns and questions I had about my pay. After listening and asking some follow-up questions, Kevin realized that something wasn’t quite right. He then asked me to send him more information.

Kevin took the initiative to look into my situation. He contacted the owner and the issue was fixed. It was great to see the owner and the union working together to resolve this issue.

Thanks to Kevin and our union, my pay got corrected and I ended up receiving more than $2,000 in backpay that I was entitled to. Thank you UFCW Canada Local 1000A for making a difference."
