	loblaws eliminates chemical pesticides
		Loblaws' chain, which includes the Atlantic Superstores, has announced it will be chemical pesticide free by 2003.
		The decision is a "response to overwhelming consumer demand to eliminate the cosmetic use of pesticides in home gardens" said Geoff Wilson, Loblaws vice-president of Industry and Investor Relations.
		This summer, half of Loblaws' lawn and garden products will be organic, and their garden centres will provide handouts for consumers on how to reduce dependency on chemical pesticides and still have attractive lawns and gardens.

		We believe that Loblaws has built a well-deserved reputation for outstanding products and are working to resolve the situation in a manner that is fair for all parties concerned.
		We have also offered to work with Loblaws in structuring an early settlement, and indeed were at the corporate headquarters yesterday and hand-delivered a letter to counsel for Loblaws and its representatives today, a copy of which we are also providing to Toronto Public Health so that we can all work together.
		In no way do we wish to challenge Loblaws in the media as doing so is simply unfair when a corporation is sensitive to pressure.

		Loblaws' claim of union inflexibility contradicts its unusually cozy working relationship with the leaders of its primary union, the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW).
		Meanwhile, in B.C., Loblaws employees are challenging their UFCW leadership, and Loblaws has come to the union's defense by searching employees' lockers for anti-UFCW literature and threatening discipline for employees caught talking about union reform.
		With the agreement of the UFCW, Loblaws has restructured from an organization with a substantial full-time workforce receiving family-supportable paycheques to a transient workforce with paycheques barely large enough to pay the rent for a skid-row tenement.

	Loblaws bans GM labelling - news articles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Loblaws, Sobey's, AandP and the other big grocery chains in Canada have decided small companies that make organic products cannot be allowed to identify food as being free of genetically modified organisms.
		It is odd that they haven't felt compelled to police claims that foods are "lite," "low-calorie" or "low-fat," yet feel they must step in to protect shoppers from being tricked into buying organic blueberry waffles the chains fear won't live up to their GMO-free billing.
		The stores say they are working with the federal government on a voluntary labelling scheme, but that until standards are in place they want to make sure their grocery aisles are a level playing field for all food manufacturers.

	Loblaws - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
		Loblaws is a malevolent grocery store chain bent on taking over the world and the rest of Canada, through sales of genetically-modified (occasionally organic) food items imported from Mars (under the title President's Choice), which are slowly brainwashing the consumers into shopping at Loblaws and only Loblaws.
		Loblaws has several other names, including but not limited to Mallblaws, Marsblaws, Blahblahs, and Megablaws.
		Wal-Mart, of course, has that goddamned disembodied happy-face, so the odds of Loblaws actually defeating Wal-Mart in all-out war are pretty slim.

	ASK LOBLAWS TO REJOIN FUNDSCRIP Petition : [ powered by iPetitions.com ]

		Parents who bought Loblaws giftcard through Fundscrip, did so to support their children's school and went grocery shopping to the local Loblaws, feeling the company cared about the community.
		I think it's shameful that a company like Loblaws, who depends so heavily on the communities in which it sells, would remove this vital form of fundraising to so many groups who are not registered charities, but are nontheless integral to the well-being of the community.

		If Loblaws thinks GE is safe, then it shouldn't want to hide it," said Holly Penfound, Greenpeace GE campaigner.

		The Leslie/Eastern location (which is, unfortunately, the closest Loblaws to where I live) has long been poorly managed, poorly stocked for a store of its huge size, and seriously understaffed.
