‘s Toronto warehouses after almost a week of picketing that disrupted deliveries of fresh meat and produce around the province.
The company said the blockade risked spoiling food and creating empty shelves in asking the Ontario Superior Court of Justice for an injunction to put a stop the action, and it requested $5 million in damages for “intimidation, nuisance, unlawful confinement” and intentional infliction of mental distress, among other infractions, according to court documents filed by Metro.
The judge awarded Metro $5,000 to cover costs associated with the hearing, but his decision does not mention the company’s request for $5 million in damages. Unifor spokesperson Paul Whyte said the union “remains hopeful that Metro will return to the bargaining table with an offer that addresses the significant affordability challenges facing its workers.”
“There is something happening in this country right now,” she said during a press conference at the time. “These workers have set a fire to the labour movement.”
