Noong nagsimula ang pandemyang Covid-19, ang UFCW Canada ay naki-pag ugnayan sa mga Employer upang maisakatuparan ang matibay na suporta at proteksyon sa aming mga miyembro. Katulong kami sa pamumuno ng maraming pamantayan para sa kaligtasan at pamamaraan. Ang paglalagay ng plexishields, ang pagbibigay ng mask at gloves ay iilan lamang sa mga ipinaglaban ng aming Unyon na ngayon ay ginagawa at tinutularan ng mga pa-trabahuhan.

Our Members Know the Union Advantage

  • Mark Zanin pictured with his Union Representative Kevin Bacon

    ""I was working 40 hours and even though I was hired full-time, I was getting paid at a part-time rate. My Union Rep raised the issue with my new owner and helped make sure I got paid correctly for the hours I had worked."  –  Mark Zanin, No Frills.

    "I have never been part of a union before and never really understood the big deal until I became a member of UFCW Canada Local 1006A. I feel very secure knowing that I have rights and that I have someone to back me up and help me argue my point when I need it."  –  Angel Vernon, Tok Transit Viva.
