Kimberly Campbell knows first-hand the difference the union makes.
“When I was facing bullying and harassment, the union stepped in and helped me tremendously,” she said. “It was a relief to know the situation was taken care of.”
At the Toronto Loblaws store where she works, Kimberly uses her knowledge and experience to look out for her co-workers, as they navigate different issues including hours and harassment.
“I became a steward to help my co-workers,” she said.
“Having a union means that members have help with the issues they face. For me, the union advantage is to have a strong collective agreement for hours of work.”
Kimberly is proud of the role that she and her fellow stewards play in the workplace.
“Stewards are mediators and activists,” she said. “When I help my co-workers, it gives me a sense of accomplishment that I was able to help in their time of need.”
