Metro Warehouse Workers in Montreal Launch Strike, Demanding Higher Wages and Better Conditions

Over five hundred fifty Metro warehouse and headquarters workers in Montreal have launched a strike, demanding higher wages and better conditions after rejecting the companys proposed eleven percent raise over five years. The union argues that the offer is too low amid skyrocketing inflation, and that workers have fallen behind while the grocery giant has seen significant revenue and profit growth. Starting wages are around twenty dollars an hour, and the union is also pushing for an end to outsourcing drivers. The strike has led to fruit and vegetable shortages across the city, with grocery shelves already feeling the impact. Quebec grocers are scrambling, and the pressure is on Metro to step up before shelves stay bare.
