Local 1000A and UFCW Canada Local 206 merged on May 1, 2016 to form UFCW Canada Local 1006A.
Local 1000A members in the Toronto-area blew away the judges and the crowds with their many talents, which ranged from Taekwondo to singing to dancing.
“It was incredible to see how much talent Local 1000A has,” said Secretary-Treasurer Tony Soares. “I want to thank all our contestants for sharing their amazing talents with us and making the day an unforgettable one.”
Local 1000A member Cheryl Mennill had a lot to smile about at London’s Springbank Park on July 14.
Mennill, who works at a Great Food store in the area, was declared the winner of the ‘Local 1000A has Got Talent’ after showcasing her skills in creating balloon animals. She made and gave away several to the children in attendance.
Downtown Toronto was transformed into a sea of rainbow colours as upwards of a million people, including Local 1000A members and staff, gathered on Canada Day to celebrate the 2012 Pride Parade.
Wearing rainbow-coloured leis and gold UFCW t-shirts, participants danced, waved flags, handed out condoms and magnets as they marched along side the UFCW Canada Local 1000A float from Church and Bloor down to Jarvis and Gerrard streets.
Canada’s Wonderland was swept up in a sea of gold as hundreds of Local 1000A members gathered with their family and friends on Saturday June 23, 2012 for Members’ Day.
Members, decked out in their gold UFCW Canada t-shirts, came from across the province for a non-stop day of rides, all-you-can-eat food and attractions.
Local 1000A is strongly encouraging all our members and allies to speak out against the City of Toronto’s proposal to force retail workers to work on statutory holidays.
These include New Year’s Day, Family Day, Good Friday, Victoria Day, Labour Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
Local 1000A is proud to announce our union's participation in Pride Weekend!
