Grocery store workers at 27 Metro locations in the Greater Toronto Area are on strike after rejecting a tentative deal.
Unifor said in a statement that front-line grocery workers at 27 Metro stores began strike action on Saturday at 12:01 a.m.
The union says the strike action comes after members of Unifor Local 414 voted to reject a tentative collective agreement reached last week.
Local 414 represents some 3,700 workers across the GTA.
Unifor says stores affected by the strike will include those in Toronto, Brantford, Orangeville, Milton, Oakville, Brampton, North York, Islington, Willowdale, Mississauga, Etobicoke, Newmarket and Scarborough.
