Saskatchewan locals warn of looming assault on labour

UFCW Canada Locals 1400 and 248P are denouncing the Saskatchewan Party government's effort to fast track consultations with the public and interested stakeholders on sweeping changes to 15 pieces of labour legislation.

Remco workers and UFCW Canada call on H&M to respect its Code of Conduct

UFCW Canada has applied to represent 60 workers at a Remco warehouse that exclusively supplies to H&M retail stores.

Standing in Solidarity with the National Farmers Union's fight for Food Sovereignty

UFCW Canada is urging members, officers, and activists to support two vitally important campaigns aimed at protecting Canadian farmers and the food that we eat. In launching a legal challenge against the federal government's abolishment of the Canadian Wheat Board's single desk, and by lobbying to ensure that the new Canadian and European free trade deal does not prevent farmers from saving, reusing, and selling their seeds, the National Farmers Union (NFU) is working with consumers and coalition partners to stop the Harper Conservatives' erosion of our food system.
