Indigo 771 Union

Indigo Chapters Pinetree has unionized! DM for info regarding your own union initiative | 📸 indigo771union | [email protected]

[Indigo 771 Union @Indigo771Union]

In the footsteps of sister store Indigo Square One, we have decided to unionize our location at Pinetree Village. We fight for fair livable wages, dependable benefits, paid sick leave, and the opportunity for full time secure work in our efforts.

The union difference 😉

[Indigo 771 Union @Indigo771Union]

Hey, I’ve see this one!

[Indigo 771 Union @Indigo771Union]

Despite such fanfare, we are told at every turn that we lack funds to staff stores appropriately, even with shorter opening hours, we’re still left operating on skeleton crews and are using less labour hours than in previous years.

[Indigo 771 Union @Indigo771Union]

So for Q3 (Oct - Dec) @chaptersindigo reported net earnings of $45.1 million, but said that we no longer qualify for our quarterly bonus since unionizing 🙃

[Indigo 771 Union @Indigo771Union]

Every part of the corporate ladder up to @HeatherReisman herself boasts to our staff about our accomplishments, even proudly proclaiming that last year was a good, successful, and profitable year for Indigo.

[trash jones @jzux]

if your boss ever thanks you for going “above and beyond,” you probably just exploited yourself

[graeme @_gmlamb]

pretty sure I have personally spent more than enough money at Chapters/Indigo over the years to cover stools for every single cashier

[Indigo 771 Union @Indigo771Union]

So now @chaptersindigo is using flattened cardboard boxes instead of anti-fatigue mats (or chairs???) for their cashiers? 🤦 This is 1 billion percent why we decided to unionize (not our location btw) @HeatherReisman #workersrights #healthandsafety

[ToonHoleChris @toonholechris]

Negotiations resuming today, and I would love to know who else is fired up. Anybody ready? #newdeal4animation #wepoweranimation #storycraftunite

Thank you @uniglobalunion - but don't forget all the Indigo & Chapters bookstore workers who organized with @UFCWCanada last year! #IndigoWorkersRising

[Kevin Shimmin @KevinShimmin]

"These bookstore campaigns are grassroots, led by workers, they demanded N95 masks and they won that" - @AminahSheikh @TheSocProgram @Union929 @Indigo771Union #IndigoWorkersRising

Thank you @UFCWCanada & @UFCW1006A for keeping workers safe.

The people united will never be defeated! ✊

Are you a retail worker curious about unionization? Send us a DM. We're happy to advise!

[Kevin Shimmin @KevinShimmin]

Congratulations to @Union929 and @UFCW1006A for successfully pushing #indigo to commit to N95s for ALL workers! ✊❤ #IndigoWorkersRising #ThereIsPowerInaUnion @billybragg #canlab

[Chapters 929 Union @929Union_]

After a push from @UFCW1006A, Indigo has committed to providing ALL staff with n95s.

Union power in action 💪

[Indigo 771 Union @Indigo771Union]

We want some too 🥺

[Chapters 929 Union @929Union_]

Special delivery from @UFCW1006A for our team 🥰

Unions keep workers safe!

Hey, @chaptersindigo please do the right thing and provide kn95s for all staff 🙂

[Jorts (and Jean) @JortsTheCat]

It’s against the law for your boss to prohibit you from discussing your wages with your coworkers, and also remember there are more workers than there are bosses

[Chapters 929 Union @929Union_]

Toronto extended their mask bylaw until April 2022.

What does that mean for Indigo staff? Nothing-- without your help.

For both the safety of our employees and our customers-- tell Indigo to reinstate their mandatory mask mandate.
