Workers In Kincardine Join Unifor

More than 100 Sobeys workers in Kincardine voted last night to join Unifor.

It's Canada's largest union in the private sector.

The new bargaining unit includes full-time and part-time workers, as well as students.

According to a release by Unifor, the Sobeys supermarket chain, owned by Nova-Scotia based Empire Company Limited, is Canada's third largest grocery retailer, generating more than $6-billion in food sales last year.

Unifor represents more than 310,000 workers, including 20,000 retail workers across Canada.
