Union News

Your local union will be distributing $20 gift cards in appreciation and recognition of our members hard work and dedication to working families throughout this pandemic.

Wage increases were among the gains achieved by UFCW 1006A members at Maple Leaf Canning in their new union contract.

Despite the pandemic, UFCW 1006A continues to help support life-saving research by helping raise $20,006 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada (LLSC).

UFCW 1006A recently welcomed cannabis workers from a third Tokyo Smoke location, this time at Scarborough’s Chartwell Shopping Center.

“Access to 10 paid sick days for workers in Ontario would have very simply reduced the spread of COVID in the workplace and saved lives,” said Katrina Miller, Program Director at The Broadbent Institute. 

Students deserve safe schools but a year and a half into the pandemic, the Ontario government has failed to act to create safer classrooms for children to return to.

1006A member Shane Morse wasn’t surprised when he learned about the remains of the 215 children found at a former Kamloops residential school.

UFCW Canada Local 1006A is becoming the home of cannabis workers, with workers at a second Tokyo Smoke (979 Bloor Street West) location recently voting to join our local union. 

The rainbow colours and the drag queens were out in full force for this year’s virtual pride event.
