Successful Unifor vote sees 100 Sobeys Kincardine employees unionize
More than 100 Sobeys
workers in Kincardine have
voted to join Unifor, Cana-
da's largest union in the pri-
vate sector.
The announcement was
made by Unifor in a media
release Oct. 26, 2016 that the
new bargaining unit
includes full-time and part-
time workers, as well as
students.
Workers at the supermar-
ket are one of only two
groups of unionized store
employees under the Sobeys
banner in the province of

The Kincardine hospital has
been approved to join the
Ontario Breast Screening Pro-
gram through Cancer Care
Ontario.
About 1,000 women a year
already use the hospital's
breast screening program.
Becoming an official breast
screening program means the
hospital will receive additional
funding to provide better sup-
port for patients who receive
mammograms in Kincardine.
"So that helps them track
appointments and follow up
on anything that requires a fol-
low-up ... this will mean that
this is a more efficient process
and in the end women will get
Ontario, according to the
union.
"This is an incredible
achievement for Sobeys
workers in Kincardine, and
for all retail workers across
the province facing precari-
ous work conditions," said
Unifor assistant to the
national secretary -treasurer,
Jenny Ahn. "These workers
understand that with a
national union like Unifor to
represent them in bargain-
ing, they are best placed to
establish fairness and
respect in the workplace."
The Sobeys supermarket
chain, owned by Nova -Sco-
tia based Empire Company
Limited, is Canada's third
largest grocery retailer, gen-
erating more than $6 billion
in food sales last year.
Unlike its primary com-
petitors (Metro and
Loblaws), the Sobeys super-
market chain is largely non -
unionized - particularly in
Ontario, Unifor said.
Since its formation in
2013, the union has negoti-
ated pay models for part-
time workers and language

Grey Health Centre CEO and
president Paul Rosebush dur-
ing the hospital board meeting
in Chesley on Oct. 26, 2016.
A similar program has been
in Walkerton since 1998 and
two years Walkerton became
an official breast assessment
centre.
Rosebush said the hospital
had to go through a rigorous
approvals process, including
requirements for technological
expertise and staff training a

He adds women are encour-
aged to use official breast
screening program hospitals
because the programs have a
track record of detecting can-
cer in early stages.
"If somebody is diagnosed
with an issue through mam-
mography they can get expert
follow up and support," said
Rosebush.
The program in Kincardine
is set to launch in early
December.
that stabilizes erratic work
schedules for retail workers
in the province.
"Every group of workers
will have their own unique
set of challenges, and that's
no different at Sobeys," said
Unifor Retail and Wholesale
Industry Director, Keith
Osborne. "But there are
important sectoral issues
that all retail workers face,
and Unifor is looking for-
ward to bringing innovative
ideas to the bargaining table
as we prepare to negotiate
