United Workforce Group is a multi-sector union serving workers across Canada. We believe strong workplaces are built on trust, collaboration, and shared purpose — and we're politically neutral, because our only allegiance is to our members.
UWG operates as an independent union in each Province, including BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. And as independent unions, each has its own unique origin. UWG Alberta has the longest history, having been established in 2010!
Skilled representatives who negotiate for fair wages, benefits, and working conditions that respect your contributions.
When differences or disputes arise, we work to solve them at the lowest level possible. Our Reps work with Shop Stewards on matters of interpretation, collective agreement compliance and, where necessary, grievance management.
Each employee group has different needs and requires a different approach to training. UWG works with your Employer to provide the training and development opportunities you need to advance your career.
Comprehensive benefit plans that look after you and your family — because your wellbeing matters beyond the workplace.
Retirement savings plans that help you build lasting financial security for the years ahead.
In each Province, UWG stays true to its marketing tagline of being "Partnership Driven." Members benefit from strong advocacy that runs parallel to a commitment to work with the Employer to advance earning potential and opportunities for all.
We believe there are better outcomes for members when everyone is working towards common goals. We show up as strong advocates who are committed to building relationships that last.
No party allegiances. No political games. Our only obligation is to the people we represent.
From BC to Manitoba, we're here for workers in every corner of the economy. And your union dues don't go to any HQ in the USA — they stay in Canada to support Canadian workers.
If you have questions about your collective agreement, benefits, or union membership, reach out to your UWG representative directly.
