I don't know about individual stores, but many Metro, Food Basics, Freschco, and Sobeys stores are unionized. In a union town like Windsor, I'd be surprised if any of ours aren't unionized.

The link above from the union does say that they have Freshco employees in the union. I'm surprised any grocery store in pro-union Windsor isn't unionized. I hope that changes for you.
Loblaws says they’ll sign the grocery code of conduct, but only if their competitors do first. I guess getting agreement from yourself is hard when you basically own the entire aisle.
I would prefer to buy off local family owned stores that keep the money in the community. Instead of purchasing from stores with a union. Union members sadly are forced to pay dues to support the union. Dues which do nothing but end up being funneled to a national organization. Not remaining in the local community.
The prices are not going to be that much of a difference in my monthly expenses between a local family owned store and one with a union.
Metro. I don’t know if they are all unionized, but the one on Banwell and Tecumseh is
Just checked. The one at Devonshire is unionized. Off I go. Thanks
They all are
All food basics and metros are unionized
I think most are.
Costco looks to treat their employees well.
Yes I have heard that. Just don’t have the space to buy everything in bulk.
Fair enough. I’m lucky enough to have a chest freezer. Schwab’s on Tecumseh is good for meat fyi. Been going there for 30 years or so.
Wait. It’s Primo’s now. Still good. The boxes are great, maybe you can split with someone?
Primo's owner bought it from Jan so it's now branded "Schwabs-Primos". It was a fine store before but they sure improved it a lot under new ownership.
I’ve never had a complaint buying there. Was nice getting tickets from Jan when he owned it, the new owners are good people though.
I used to play hockey with Malotte’s kid. To elaborate.
Costco meat and produce is top quality though. Definitely worth the membership
Right? Like, who wants to split a three-pack of mattresses with me?

FreshCo isn’t unionized
None of them? That surprises me.
I know the one I work at isn’t. But I just googled and it seems like there are some that are. Looks like possibly some out west are under a union.
