UFCW 1518’s roots can be traced back to 1899 when a group of retail clerks in Vancouver met to discuss how they could improve their working conditions.
Since then, UFCW 1518 has established a track record of winning key battles for its members. Today, the union represents workers in a diverse range of industries, including community health, industrial, and professional services.
