The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday, Aug. 24, edition that Metro is filing an unfair labour practice complaint with the Ontario Labour Relations Board against Unifor over a continuing strike. A Canadian Press dispatch to The Globe reports that Metro spokesman Marie-Claude Bacon says, "The union has refused to return to the bargaining table for the purpose of allowing Metro to present an offer in an effort to resolve the current labour conflict, despite repeated invitations on Metro's part." The move Wednesday comes after striking Metro workers started picketing two of the grocers' distribution warehouses, a move the company said is preventing deliveries of fresh products to Metro and Food Basics stores across the province. 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. Unifor Local 414 president Gord Currie and national president Lana Payne met workers at a secondary picket at a warehouse in Toronto's west end. "If there is one group of workers who deserve respect, decent pay and decent work, it is grocery store workers in this country," Ms. Payne told reporters.
