Workers at the Beth Tikvah Foundation chose to organize with UFCW Locals 175 & 633 because they wanted to gain the Union advantage and build a better life by addressing the following issues in their workplace:
- Job security
- Benefits
- Favourtism
- Harassment
- Wages
- Health & Safety
“These workers held steadfast in their decision to organize,” said President Tosato. “They stood strong and united, and made their voices heard loud and clear. We applaud their determination and resolve and welcome them to their Union.”
