Workers at 4 Finance in Burlington, Ont., join UFCW

60 sales, support, and collections employees certify

United Food and Commercial Workers Canada (UFCW) Local 1006A will now represent call centre workers at Burlington, Ont.’s, 4 Finance, who voted yes May 12 to joining the union.

“It feels fantastic to win union representation,” said Samantha Scott, who works at 4 Finance.

The bargaining unit is comprised of about 60 employees who work in sales, support, and collections for one of the largest online and mobile consumer lending companies in the world, said the union.

Workers sought union representation due to poor pay and benefits, restricted vacation leave, invasive monitoring and the fact that they felt powerless in a non-unionized environment, according to UFCW.
