2 Canadian HR Reporter, a HAB Press business 2019 Unifor Metro workers in Ontario reach tentative deal TORONTO — Unifor members of Local 414 reached a tentative agreement with Metro grocery stores. The new contract covers about 4,000 workers at 27 loca- tions across Ontario. The tentative agreement will be presented to members for a ratification vote in the coming days. Details of the new contract will be released upon ratifica- tion, said the union. If ratified, the new four-year agreement will expire on July 16, 2023, said unifor. "This agreement continues our work to raise the bar for our retail members," said Gord Cur- rie, president of Unifor Local 414. "As one of the country's larg- est retail worker unions, Unifor is fighting back against the flood of part-time work and is leading the push to increase wages and improve working conditions." AAA Canada workers in Montreal vote to unionize MONTREAL — Workers at AAA Canada in Montreal voted 84 per cent to join the Interna- tional Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM), Local 1758 on July 18. The provincial certification means the IAM will represent every one of the workers (ex- cluding office workers) in Que- bec employed by AAA Canada, said the union. "Our organizers worked very hard to get the vote out," says Jean-Marc Brunet, lead orga- nizer for IAM District Lodge 11. "Many of these new members al- ready work in places represented by the IAM as subcontractors (Bombardier, Airbus)." The Quebec Labour Board forced a mail-in vote lasting one month, which added to the over- all length of the campaign, said IAM. AAA Canada is a manufactur- ing company that offers special- ized subcontracting and techni- cal assistance services related to industrialization, production and supplier monitoring pro- cesses in the aerospace and transportation sectors. The IAM represents about 10,000 members working in the Canadian aerospace sector.
