We are as surprised as anyone that we’re at Christmas already, where does the time go?

It’s been a very busy year at the Local, completing bargaining with The Original Cakerie and Canada Bread (Bimbo Canada).  Bargaining with Agrifoods and Agropur are ongoing as I write this.  Meanwhile, Lactalis (Olympic Dairy) is waiting in the wings.

The IBT is back in the swing of things, with the Bakery and Dairy Divisions holding conferences once again, as well as the IBT Unity Conference in October and various other conferences.

Teamsters Canada held a very successful fundraiser for their vocational...

Your Local Union is very proud to partner with Coast Mental Health Foundation of Vancouver for our Annual Charity Golf Tournament. In September 2023, we posted a small profit, generating $2,900 for the charity, a significant improvement over the previous year.

We hope to continue to improve for 2024.  Our next tournament is Friday, September 6, at Newlands in Langley. We hope to see you there!

This October, Joint Council No. 36 held its first Education Week for Shop Stewards at the Inn at the Quay, in New Westminster, and it was quite the success! The Joint Council Education Week is an inaugural event where some of the top experts in Labour provide education in grievance handling, collective bargaining, legal and legislative updates, and more.  Congratulations to all attendees! We're already looking forward to next year. 

In the interests of further growing the Local Union, Local 464 has created an Organizing Incentive Program for those who provide a lead and assistance in achieving a first contract with a new bargaining unit.

Incentives are monetary in nature and increasing on a scale based on bargaining unit size.  

For further details, please contact our office or Organizer.

If I were to describe 2022 in a phrase, I’d say it represented getting back to business.  After tackling Saputo’s bargaining in late 2021, we turned our attention to the Earth’s Own/Happy Planet negotiations and hammered out a heck of a deal there, with the support of a great bargaining committee and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAMAW) and the International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE).

Teamsters Canada held their Convention in Montreal in June, with all Canadian Locals participating.

We also were able to arrange a fabulous, in-person Shop Steward...
