Front-line grocery store workers at Metro, who are into their third day of a work stoppage, vowed on Monday to stay off the job until they get a fair deal from the company.
More than 3,000 store workers at 27 Metro locations in the Greater Toronto Area began strike action on Saturday after rejecting a tentative collective agreement reached last week between the company and their union — Unifor.
Unifor said stores affected by the strike include those in Toronto, Brantford, Orangeville, Milton, Oakville, Brampton, North York, Islington, Willowdale, Mississauga, Etobicoke, Newmarket and Scarborough. "But we have families to feed as well and, sadly, many of us cannot afford to shop where we work. That has to change, and that's why we're here," Strang said."It's been a tough [time] for retail in general, but the grocery stores were open all through the pandemic making money and the reason they were able to do that is because we were here every day putting our health and safety on the line because we want to serve our customers," she said.
