Quebec company votes to join UFCW union

LACHUTE, Que. — More than 80 workers at Les Aliments Lebel in Lachute, Que. have joined Local 501 of the United Food and Commercial Workers Canada (UFCW), after voting to join the union late last year. The company manufactures ice cream, frozen yogurt and other frozen foods at a production facility northwest of Montreal, the UFCW said in a Jan. 12 press release. The UFCW reported that the newest Local 501 members decided to join the union to obtain improved wages and recall conditions and to have their rights and seniority respected at work.
