Workers at 27 Metro Grocery Stores in the Greater Toronto Area have gone on strike after rejecting a tentative deal. The strike action was initiated by front-line grocery workers from Unifor Local 414 after they voted against the proposed collective agreement. The affected stores include locations in Toronto, Brampton, Mississauga, and Scarborough. Metro Ontario Inc., the subsidiary of Metro Inc., expressed disappointment at the rejection and stated that the agreement provided significant increases in pay and benefits for employees. The strike will result in the closure of the 27 stores, but pharmacies will remain open.
