Unifor Rallies in Support of Walmart Warehouse Workers

Unifor members rallied in solidarity with Walmart warehouse workers in Mississauga, ON on September 16, as they work towards achieving a historic first collective agreement.

The rally was an opportunity to show the strength of standing together to fight for a fair deal. “We’re here to show solidarity from Unifor, to let these workers know that the union is here behind them,” said Samia Hashi, Unifor Ontario Regional Director. “We’ll have their backs all the way, until the end.”

One year ago, in September 2024, Unifor successfully organized over 800 new members at Mississauga’s Walmart Warehouse facility – now members of Local 252. This landmark victory was driven by concerns over issues like wages, health and safety, and working conditions. Now, as they work to secure a first collective agreement, the bargaining team and National Representatives are determined to build a workplace that works for new Local 252 members.

Bargaining is ongoing to secure a contract that protects workers’ rights and dignity in the workplace.
