Toronto – October 16, 2025 – Workers at the Dufferin Mall H&M store in Toronto, Canada, voted to join UFCW 1006A on October 9. The 25 workers, who made the unanimous decision to join our union, are employed as sales advisors.

“The experience from the start until now has been just filled with support from the union, encouragement and the goal of creating a better workplace future for us,” said Brandy, who works as a Sales Advisor at the store.

UFCW 1006A worked with UNI Global Union, which brings together workers from more than 150 countries, to petition H&M, a global multinational fashion retailer, to respect the rights of these workers. These new Local 1006A members join the hundreds of H&M workers already unionized with UFCW in Michigan, Florida and New York.

“Union representation empowers workers, transforms workplaces, and ensures fairness for all,” said President Wayne Hanley. “This victory is a testament to the determination, enthusiasm, and commitment of H&M workers. We’re excited to congratulate our newest members on their achievement. Maintaining this same level of unity and participation is vital as we begin the process of achieving a fair first contract.”
