Unions aren’t evil, they are your voice, and advocate for your rights. They ensure you have health care, minimum wages, job security and seniority based scheduling! Unions negotiate your contracts and make sure you are protected and represented! #ufcw #ufcwyip #yip2023

Scabs are crippling the integrity of our Unions
The Canadian Government isn’t on our side until they pass this legislation.

And that’s a wrap!

YIP 2023 is officially signing off— and preparing for the future to come.

Goodbye Toronto! It’s been incredible.

The #ClimateEmergency will always be a union issue.

@UFCWCanada believes in fighting for a cleaner, greener future. No matter your job, age, or province, we’re all affected by a worsening climate.

You deserve to breathe.

“I like a blue sky, no pollution and sunshine. Now everything is dirty.” Changing winds on Thursday caused the air quality in Toronto, Canada’s largest city, to visibly deteriorate. Conditions could still worsen to reach the “high risk” level. https://t.co/IdWg6vUn6i

People with disabilities can't afford to wait. UFCW Canada support @disability_wp and calls on the federal government to pass Bill C-22 & make the Canada Disability Benefit a reality.

Write to your local MP here and voice your support of Bill C-22 here: https://t.co/hlZDJsUtWE

While you may have heard unions (and their many benefits) are practically prehistoric, we can assure you few dinosaurs had access to the @UFCWCanadas resources.

Could a negotiating team have helped the dinosaurs defend their #right to a safe environment?

We’ll never know 😔

Questions your #UnionStewards can answer:

-Where do my union dues go?
-Is this write-up legitimate?
-How do I deal with workplace harassment?

Questions your Union Steward cannot answer:

-If Toronto is so used to tourists, why do passerby’s keep staring at us?? 🤨

Have you ever been on a bus full of high schoolers?

Current @TTC commuters may be surprised to learn that they aren’t 😅

(With over 250,000 @UFCW members, national conferences are no small matter 😰)

[UFCW Young Workers @ufcwyip]

Fun Fact!

The @SheratonCentre escalators are roughly one YIP Conference long.

Does your union contract protect you from potential changes to your workplace or operations?

Here’s a look at Local 12R24’s clause to protect future job security 👀👀

If you’re wondering about rules in your workplace (hangman excluded) ask your steward or union representative!

It’s your contract, and if you think something is missing the UFCW is committed to helping you address those gaps.

[UFCW Young Workers @ufcwyip]

Day Three of the UFCW YIP Program!

Question of the Day:

Is it unethical to make a hangman phrase two unrelated words?

[UFCW Young Workers @ufcwyip]

Day Two of the annual #UFCW Young Workers Conference!

Did you Know: You cannot be forced or coerced into working #overtime without notice? 🤔
