Get the Union Advantage

Get the Union Advantage!

By joining the union and becoming a UFCW Canada member, you will have the power to make your employer negotiate a collective agreement that ensures you get good pay, better benefits and respect on the job. The reason owners and bosses often speak badly about unions is because they don’t want to give up power and control to You – the workers - the people who make the company so successful in the first place. By exercising your right to join the union, you are taking control of your wages and working conditions and making sure you and your co-workers are treated with dignity and respect.

These are just some of the advantages of a typical UFCW Canada collective agreement including:
