To our members working in Retail Grocery, Food Production, Hospitality, Warehousing & Distribution, Security, Hospitality, and Assisted Living all across Manitoba. All of us at UFCW Local 832 wants to thank you once again for all the hard work you’ve done this year for all Manitobans during this pandemic.
This pandemic brings a lot of stress and anxiety to everyone, and it’s important at times like this that we be patient and respect one another. We also need to be sure that we’re being vigilant and following the safety protocols that are set out so we can look after each other at home and in the workplace.
