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.

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.
