Workers at ASI Group Canada join the Union to fight for better working conditions.

Workers at ASI Group Canada in Mississauga have voted yes to joining UFCW Local 175

The newest members of UFCW Local 175, which includes 19 full-time employees at the ASI facility, reached out to the Union to build a more secure and safe workplace by joining the Union. The successful result means these members are now working toward their first collective agreement.

At the facility, the workers are employed as machine operators and general labourers. They are responsible for manufacturing a number of school related items, such as washroom accessories, visual display items, lockers, and other storage products.

Several major concerns brought these workers to seek out Union representation with UFCW Local 175. From favouritism to health and safety issues, the working environment for these employees needed improvement. And now, with the their new UFCW Local 175 membership, they can start building a better future through collective bargaining knowing they’ve got the power of 70,000 hard-working Union member standing behind them every step of the way.

“Like many frustrated workers out there, our new members at ASI Group wanted to do something to make positive change at work,” said President Tosato. “Joining a Union is an important first step to creating that kind of change and with the backing of our Local Union, I know these members will be able to do just that.”

Our new members look forward to negotiating a first collective agreement that will help establish better working conditions and ensure that all workers at the facility are treated fairly.

Congratulations, and welcome to your Union.
