More than 900 Unifor workers at Metro Inc.’s Toronto-area distribution centre went on strike Saturday
Grocery warehouse workers in Canada appear to be holding out for better pay and benefits after the second strike at a distribution centre in as many months.
Canada’s unemployment rate has also dropped below prepandemic levels, potentially giving workers more confidence in the bargaining process. Unifor’s Mr. MacDonald said the union bargaining committee is ready to resume negotiations “in the hope of bringing this strike to a speedy end.” Kim Bergeron, a lawyer representing UFCW Canada’s Local 501, said the pay and benefits are key sticking points. In an e-mail, she said workers are set to vote on a tentative agreement on Friday.
