More than 300 workers at The Bay’s e-commerce warehouse in Scarborough are on strike.
The HBC Logistics employees, who process online orders from across Canada, have been without a contract for more than a year.
According to the workers’ union, Unifor, one of the main points of contention is that the employer has “refused to offer any retroactive increase for the period that they continued to work without a contract during COVID-19.” “These workers stepped up to help The Bay cope with a surge in online shopping during COVID-19, even postponing bargaining when their collective agreement expired in May 2021,” Ontario Regional Director Naureen Rizvi said in a release on Wednesday.
