In March, Local 175 Organizers assisted 60 employees at Amica Retirement facility in Whitby in successfully joining our Union.
The home, recently sold to a new owner, had made changes resulting in less staffing in a number of departments. The employees formed a committee and launched a campaign to protect their jobs, and enhance their wages and benefits by joining the Union.
They won their certification at a vote held March 22 and became part of the growing Health, Office & Professional Employees (HOPE) Sector of Local 175.
Congratulations and welcome to Your Union.
