UFCW Canada, the union for food and retail workers, believes all retail workers deserve living wages, stable schedules, safe workplaces, and so much more  — all guaranteed in writing by a union contract. That’s why we work with and represent MEC workers in Victoria and Vancouver Island, B.C.

Not every MEC has union representation, but workers across the country are organizing to change that.

When we all come together and use our collective voice, we have power! You and your coworkers are the reason your MEC stores remain successful and you know their shelves better than anyone. You deserve wages and benefits that reflect that. Your hard work deserves respect. You deserve job security and a voice at work!

This is why MEC workers are unionizing — to have a say in the policies that affect their day-to-day work lives. And you can join them! Talk to one of your fellow (recently unionized!) MEC members and learn more about how you can start a union at your store by filling out the form below.
