TORONTO — Amid an ongoing strike by Metro workers in Toronto, the grocery giant said Unifor refused its request to meet with the bargaining committee.
Metro's bargaining committee reached out to Unifor over the weekend and offered to meet as soon as Sunday or Monday, said spokeswoman Marie-Claude Bacon in a statement."Front-line grocery workers have been clear about their expectations, and what the company presented is inadequate," Gord Currie, president of Unifor Local 414, said in a statement.
Around 3,700 Metro workers have been on strike since late July at 27 stores across the Greater Toronto Area. In late July, the workers voted against a tentative agreement that Unifor national president Lana Payne described as their best in decades, choosing instead to strike and demand more from their employer.
