TORONTO — Striking Metro workers in the Greater Toronto Area are now picketing two of the grocers' distribution warehouses, a move the company said is preventing deliveries of fresh products to stores across the province.
"If there is one group of workers who deserve respect, decent pay and decent work, it is grocery store workers in this country," Payne told reporters. More than 3,700 workers at 27 Metro stores across the GTA have been on strike since July 29 after rejecting a tentative agreement recommended by their bargaining committee.
Metro spokeswoman Marie-Claude Bacon called the move "unacceptable" and asked the workers to come back to the bargaining table, saying the warehouses supply all Metro and Food Basics stores in Ontario and the pickets are preventing deliveries of fresh products to all its stores.

T-Swift’s six shows in Toronto next year are estimated to draw some 300,000 concert-goers, with a big economic boon on the line for the city. So big in fact, some say it’s making Toronto’s World Cup deal look bad. The city will be hosting a part of the 2026 World Cup games along with the US and Mexico.
