Our colleagues and our employees are the lifeblood of Loblaw. Grocery, in general, is a very labour-intensive industry, and your experience as a customer is only as good as your experience in the store.
Colleagues are fundamental. We are predominantly—in our grocery stores, in particular—a unionized shop, and we proudly participate in the collective bargaining process. Our unions advocate quite well for the employee population. Any deals, and most deals—in fact the ones that we've consummated over the last year—have been done with union approval.
