Across this land, UFCW Canada has been a decades-long leader in making employers, politicians and government agencies respect that Heath and Safety is a fundamental workplace right — whether it be successfully pushing the Ontario government to extend health and safety coverage for farm workers; to the current campaign for Alberta to do the same; to lobbying and direct legal challenges to uphold the health and safety workplace rights of migrant and temporary workers.

Today tens of thousands of  UFCW Canada members, as well as other workers in Canada, have a safer workplace because of UFCW Canada action.

UFCW Canada National Education and Training is committed to providing the best in H&S resources, and progressive levels of training and education for workers across the range of UFCW Canada workplaces.
