Nothing is more important for your union than protecting and improving life for you and your family. That’s why we fought hard to ensure your economic security when Loblaw Companies Ltd informed us during the 2010 negotiations that it intends to convert all its conventional stores. With your support, we negotiated five options to secure your livelihood as you transition to the Great Food banner.

The transition period is now upon us. Last summer and fall, the company converted Loblaws stores in Kingston, Lindsay and Ottawa to the Great Food banner. In December, eight Toronto-area stores followed suit. Members of UFCW Canada Local 175 & 633 working at Zehrs stores also converted to the Great Food banner last year.
In 2012, the company will convert all remaining Loblaws stores in the Toronto-area to the Great Food banner. Union representatives will be at the stores for the announcement to help members with their questions and concerns.
At this time, the importance of reviewing and understanding your options (PDF) cannot be underestimated. These options (PDF) were part of the memorandum of settlement (PDF) voted on by members last fall and your choice can affect everything from your earning potential to your benefits.
In the upcoming weeks and months, union representatives will provide informational booklets aimed at helping members navigate through this challenging time. They will also be present to help workers at one-on-one meetings with the company where they are advised of their options. Please do not hesitate to talk to your union representative about any questions or concerns you may have. We are here to help you through the company’s conversion process.
