As thousands of staff from Metro supermarkets continue to strike this week, shoppers will want to confirm which stores near them are impacted before heading out for their grocery run.

A total of 27 stores in the GTA had to shut down operations over the weekend, with just shy of 4,000 workers picketing as of Saturday morning after rejecting a deal proposed by the retail giant.

Members of Unifor Local 414 are demanding higher wages and better working conditions, especially considering how little the pay for most employees has risen in recent years while the company hasrecorded bonkers profitsand faced accusations oftaking advantage of inflationtoprice gougecustomers.

Unifor National President Lana Payne told reportersat a presserthat "an erosion of jobs in supermarkets across the country" has meant that an entire 70 per cent of Metro's striking workforce is now only part-time, with few clerks getting enough hours and the job stability to be considered gainfully employed.

But, the brand asserts that it has long had many full-time roles available and that the latest deal proposed fair wage increases above inflation. It is also still committed to negotiating.

I never shop at Metro due to higher grocery prices over competitive stores. It's astounding that they do not pay their employees a fair wage.
