Swiss Chalet workers in Paris, Ontario win hard-fought first contract
Paris, Ont. – January 14, 2014 – UFCW Canada Local 206 members at the Swiss Chalet in Paris, Ontario are rejoicing after winning a hard-fought first collective agreement. Following a year-long battle with the company — in which the restaurant owners and management refused to recognize Local 206 as the workers' official bargaining agent and attempted to decertify the union — the Swiss Chalet employees voted overwhelmingly in favour of ratifying a first contract late last month.
