The
Unifor union brings together more than 315,000
workers from coast to coast.
In
Quebec, we are more than 55,000 members.
It
is the largest private sector union in Canada
as well as in Quebec.
Employees
from
a wide variety of businesses join our ranks to
assert their rights.
Without
a strong union to speak on your behalf, the
employer does what they want without
necessarily worrying about your rights and
interests as a worker.
Local
956 wants to help you by unionize your
workplace.
This
will ensure that workers have a real voice
towards leaders regarding their working
conditions and defending their rights.
Article
13 of the Labor Code prohibits the use of
intimidation or threats to induce anyone to
become a member, to refrain from becoming a
member or to cease to be a member of a trade
union.
As
soon as the accreditation request is filed
with the Ministry of Labor, the employer does
not have the right to modify the working
conditions (wages, hours, functions or tasks,
etc.) of his employees without the consent
written union (art. 59).
Article
36 of the Labor Code stipulates that a
person's membership of an association must not
be revealed by anyone during the accreditation
procedure, except to persons from the Ministry
of Labor assigned to the case. These people
are required to maintain the secrecy of this
information. So your employer cannot know who
signed their membership card.
