Unifor calls for compensation for bus drivers assaulted on the job. New members at Halifax’s Discovery Centre secure progressive first collective agreement while Ontario Metro workers gain new full-time jobs at the bargaining table. Plus, the Unifor Social Justice Fund provides the opportunity for girls in India to obtain an education.
Members take to the streets at the St. John’s Pride Parade.
Unifor has made the consequences of climate change a priority with a focus on workers and their communities. Members are invited to attend an informative national conference ‘Just Transition – Ensuring a Future that Works for All’.
More than 100 bus drivers are assaulted every year in B.C. Unifor’s Tana MacKay told a government review of WorkSafeBC that compensation claims are routinely denied.
Tentative agreement reached between Metro grocery stores and Local 414, covering almost 4,000 workers at 27 Ontario locations. READ MORE
