Workers change unions at Edmonton poultry plant

About 400 unionized staff at Maple Leaf Foods’ Edmonton poultry plant have voted to switch to the Christian Labour Association of Canada (CLAC) from the United Food and Commercial Workers.
The Alberta Labour Relations Board held a secret ballot June 23 in which almost three-quarters of voters supported a move to CLAC local 56, the union said in a Wednesday news release.
A spokesperson for the United Food and Commercial Workers couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.
