UFCW Eastern Provinces Council Local 1288P member Karen Beaton, a worker at the House of Nazareth homeless shelter in Moncton, was recently dealing with an issue of not being paid her proper wages, leading to a grievance filed and eventually, arbitration.
Arbitration was held in Moncton on March 27, with a subsequent decision made June 1.
With the help of UFCW Eastern Provinces Council Local Representative Yves Leger, Karen was awarded roughly $3,300 in retroactive pay, as well as a wage increase of $1.37.
"I am beyond grateful to UFCW for taking this as far as they have, making House of Nazareth pay me what I deserved," said Beaton. "Not only that, but UFCW has supported me through this entire process, making me feel like a very valued member, which I am proud to be."
