Additional stores would be added to the strike on Sunday July 5.
The Union is asking that customers do not shop at the stores where the strike is on. It may be harder in small communities when that's the only shopping choice you have if you don't have access to public transit or access to a car.
Remaining stores may/may not be on strike tomorrow. They are back at the table for talks.
Fresh products in stores that may be at risk, may be on sale today. YMMV.
Saw Altlantic salmon in the seafood department on for $1.99/lb
July 5 deadline extended to July 11 as talks resume. Union:
Quote:
Two days of intensive negotiations between your union and Loblaw Companies Ltd resulted today in amendments to the memorandum of agreement dated June 2, 2015.
Both parties had returned to the negotiating table at the request of an Ontario Ministry of Labour Mediation Officer on July 2.
Your union believes it’s important for our members to have the opportunity to examine and vote on the amended offer and as such, has postponed the strike deadline of Sunday, July 5 at 12:01 a.m.
Should this amended offer be rejected, the strike will commence on Saturday, July 11 at 12:01 a.m. at all 60 Local 1000A Loblaws Great Food and Superstore locations across the province.
Ratification votes and related polls are being scheduled across the province from Sunday, July 5 to Wednesday, July 8.
Considering that Loblaws is providing the food for the Pan Am Games' athletes and coaches, it would be lovely if the negotiations were settled without any strikes occurring.
No strike
