We at Union Ergonomics are dedicated to help union members work better. Currently union workers have to wait long before obtaining appointments due to popularity of our services and the fact that we are one of the few centers in Canada offering ergonomics services and supplies to workers. We would like to see Union Ergonomics in every corner of the world so all workers could have access to ergonomic services. As such we are franchising this unique concept at a very affordable franchise fee and royalty. We also provide financial assistance to qualified franchisees who need financial help in opening up a new Union Ergonomics location. Everyone; regardless of previous work experience may apply to be a franchisee of Union Ergonomics.
