Amanda Slack, Labeller, Canada
“If hens are laying, we’re packing — that’s job security.”
“At Hartmann in Brantford, we manufacture egg cartons - and as a Labeller, I make them look great by running the machines that add print and design.
What I love most about working here is the people. My teammates make every day enjoyable, and I know I can always count on them. Plus, being part of a strong union gives me confidence that my rights are respected and protected.
For me, sustainability is knowing the process, sticking to the routine, and understanding how essential our work is - as long as hens lay eggs, we’ll need cartons.
A proud moment in my time here was becoming Vice Chair of our sub-local. The support I felt from my colleagues was truly moving.
Every day starts with helping set up for production, supporting operators, and making sure things run smoothly. I’d tell anyone considering a production job here: go for it. The people, the workplace, and the purpose make Hartmann a great place to be.”
