Globe/CP say Metro, Unifor return to bargaining table

2023-08-30 07:50 ET - In the News

The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that an Ontario court has granted Metro a temporary injunction to restrict pickets by striking workers at distribution warehouses across Toronto. A Canadian Press dispatch to The Globe reports that Unifor spokesman Paul Whyte said, "The union remains focused on achieving a fair collective agreement to end the strike with a contract that provides decent work and pay to frontline grocery workers." Metro spokesman Marie-Claude Bacon confirmed both sides are talking again. Metro announced it was seeking an injunction against Unifor and the workers on Friday at its distribution warehouses that prevented deliveries of fresh products, namely produce, meat and dairy, to its stores provincewide. After the temporary order was granted, Metro said deliveries would resume to resupply stores as soon as possible. Ms. Bacon said the grocer remained committed to the bargaining process and urged the union to come back to the table. The order restricts picketers from unlawfully blocking or delaying access to multiple Metro distribution centres and corporate offices, but allows them to delay delivery vehicles for up to five minutes. It expires at midnight on Friday, Sept. 1.
