How does representation from UFCW Canada benefit me?

You now have access to representation and dispute resolution services from UFCW Canada – the country’s leading private-sector union. If your account is deactivated or there is another issue, you can now turn to UFCW Canada to help navigate that concern.

Currently there isn’t any legislation regulating gig work, and the national agreement between Uber Canada and UFCW Canada is a critical first step in lifting the floor for all workers performing app-based work.

Uber Canada and UFCW Canada also agree that it is time to start moving forward with legislated benefits for drivers, delivery people, and other platform-based workers, while at the same time maintaining the ability to work when and where you want.

As a driver or delivery person, you have gained the backing of a labour organization that has a long history of negotiating successful agreements with some of the largest national and multinational corporations in the country.
