These workers have not seen a raise in nearly 5 years, and their employer refuses to come to the bargaining table.
The application was not even two days old before the employer had fired one of their workers who was close to the union.
They are hoping for improvements to wages, scheduling, and working conditions.
They have been waiting for over two years for a new collective agreement, ever since their last one expired in June 2024.
If successful, it would affect about 2 dozen workers.
