LEAMINGTON, Ontario – United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Canada and Ecojustice have filed a new legal case challenging Health Canada’s unlawful failure to protect agricultural workers by not enforcing safety data sheet requirements.
The union claims that Health Canada’s failure to enforce safety data sheet requirements exposes workers to unlawful harm: without access to critical information about the chemicals they are handling, agricultural workers are unable to protect themselves from hazardous pesticides at work.
The union will be holding a press conference on June 8, 2025, which will be followed by workshops on safety data sheets for local agricultural workers.
