We’re thrilled to start the new year by welcoming the hardworking team at the Trouw Nutrition Canada mill in Westlock, Alberta, to the GSU family as our new Local 10!

This milestone marks the beginning of an exciting journey for these workers, who united with a shared goal of improving their workplace and securing their rights.

Just a few months ago, this determined group reached out to GSU for representation and support. After many conversations, collaborative efforts, and guidance from Mason Van Luven and other GSU representatives, their hard work has paid off. We’re proud to announce that the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) has certified GSU as their bargaining agent.

“This is just the beginning for these GSU members. As a union, we’re here to ensure they have a strong voice and the tools to shape their future,” Van Luven said. “The next step will be negotiating their first collective agreement—a process that reflects the strength of our collective commitment to fairness and respect in the workplace.”

Our new Local 10 members will have opportunities to see GSU in action, including joining events like the GSU convention this March. We can’t wait to learn more about them, hear their stories, and see their contributions as they become an integral part of our union.

Let’s start 2025 off with solidarity! Please join us in warmly welcoming Local 10 to GSU. Together, we’re building a stronger, fairer future.
