Today, UFCW 1518 sent a letter to the Jim Pattison Group regarding their decision to sell a Pattison-owned warehouse for conversion into an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) processing facility in Virginia.

UFCW 1518 stands firmly against the demonization and targeting of immigrant workers, as well as the dehumanizing practices being utilized by ICE. We are urging the Jim Pattison group to reconsider the sale of their warehouse and decline any further involvement with ICE.

While we have also raised our concerns directly with Save-On-Foods leadership, we recognize frontline grocery workers in BC had no role in this decision. Boycotts that lead to cut hours or wages only shift the harm onto workers who can least afford it.

UFCW 1518 stands with immigrant workers and will always defend the dignity, safety, and livelihoods of all working people.
