Metro strike: GTA locations close as union rejects company’s latest offer
RELATED: Metro locations across the Greater Toronto Area are closed Saturday after thousands of employees at the grocery chain formally went on strike. Unifor, the largest private-sector union, says some 3,700 frontline store employees walked off the job just after midnight. Unifor national president Lana Payne spoke to reporters Saturday about the decision to strike and what comes next for Metro employees. – Jul 29, 2023

As frontline workers at Metro begin a strike across the Greater Toronto Area after rejecting a new deal from the grocery giant, stores have closed and are set to stay closed.

Metro said 27 of its grocery stores in Toronto and the surrounding area will be closed for the duration of the strike. Pharmacies, however, will remain open.

The strike began at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday, with picket lines appearing around 8 a.m. Union leaders said the deal rejected by workers represented the “best agreement in decades” but failed to match the soaring cost of living.
