metro strike

Here are the Metro stores open and closed in and around Toronto as strike drags on

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 has recorded bonkers profits and faced accusations of taking advantage of inflation to price gouge customers.

Unifor National President Lana Payne told reporters at a presser that "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.

The Metro locations currently closed due to the strike are:

  • 425 Bloor St. W., Toronto
