In a monumental move, 15 Early Childhood Educators at Lilypad Childhood Centre in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, voted 85 per cent in favour of joining UFCW Local 1252.
This marks an important milestone for Early Childhood Educators across the province and demonstrates the power of workers standing together in solidarity. By joining UFCW Local 1252, these workers have taken a significant step toward having a stronger voice in their workplace and advocating collectively for the respect they deserve.
The members will soon begin the bargaining process, where they will work toward securing fair wages, improved working conditions and access to a fair grievance procedure.
Their decision to unionize reflects a commitment to supporting one another and building a better future for themselves, their coworkers, and the profession.
Please join us in congratulating the newest members of UFCW Local 1252 and wishing them success as they begin bargaining their first collective agreement!
