Toronto – March 28, 2013 – UFCW Canada activists and officers joined more than 180 delegates and participants in a strategic forum this week about building a broad-based national coalition based on the values that are shared by the majority of Canadians as well as the labour movement – such as fairness, equal opportunity, and a safe and healthy place to work and live.

Toronto – March 7, 2013 – With the opening of the first three Target stores in Canada, more than 25,000 former Zellers workers continue to be left out in the cold by the American retail giant. On March 5, Target Canada opened their first-ever Canadian stores to the public - in Milton, Guelph and Fergus, Ontario. Since acquiring 189 Zellers stores more than a year ago, Target has consistently maintained that all Zellers workers would be terminated and their wage rates, benefits and years of service would not be recognized once their stores re-opened under the Target banner.
