McKellar Place workers stand strong and united to join UFCW Local 175
McKellar Place Workers stand together, join UFCW Local 175.
August 9, 2024
On July 15 & 16, 2024, healthcare hospitality workers at McKellar Place in Thunder Bay Ontario voted unanimously in favour of joining UFCW Local 175.
Our newest members work as housekeepers, front clerks and kitchen staff at McKellar Place, which is an independent senior living facility. The workers contacted our Union to help them achieve better working conditions, curb mistreatment, address concerns with scheduling, and ensure wages were paid on time, among other things.
“Workers deserve to be treated with dignity and respect,” said President Tosato. “These workers stood up for themselves and we will have their backs as they work toward making positive changes through collective bargaining as Union members.”
UFCW Local 175 represents many workers in various jobs throughout healthcare facilities: from the kitchen to reception, maintenance to housekeeping, nurses, PSWs, and more.
Congratulations to the workers at McKellar Place on your well-earned victory.
Welcome to your union!
