    Assistance for laid off Chateau Laurier Hotel members

    Hospitality, gaming and food service have been some of the sectors hit hardest by the pandemic. With CRB and EI ending for many, Unifor has partnered with the Hospitality Workers Training Centre to help our members who are still laid off to find work, ideally with other Unifor-represented employers. We have developed a broad network of Unifor employers who are hiring across Ontario. Get in touch if you’d like some help with your job search.

    Chateau Laurier severance denials

    Be advised that the CLH has taken a position to deny employees severance if they have worked since the pandemic layoff regardless of the number of weeks they have been laid off in the past 52 weeks.  Your Union has filed a grievance and are not in agreement with the employer.  If you have been considering taking your severance you may wish to do it now.  While your Union is confident that we are on solid grounds defending our members severance rights  the outcome of our grievance is not guaranteed to be successful.  We will continue to keep our members at the CLH updated on this very urgent matter.

    Training opportunities

    There are new training opportunities for Hospitality workers being offered by our National Union.  View the document here.
