The union representing thousands of Greater Toronto Area Metro grocery store workers held a press conference on Wednesday after saying members have created secondary picket lines at two distribution warehouses.

"We deserve justice. We deserve good pay. We deserve decent work," Unifor's national president Lana Payne said, surrounded by striking workers. "[We are] one of the wealthiest countries in the world and we still have people going to work not making a livable share."

According to Unifor, the secondary picket lines began at 6 a.m. Wednesday with one at a distribution warehouse on Dundas Street in Etobicoke. The warehouses distribute meat, produce and other products to GTA Metro stores.

More than 3,700 frontline Metro grocery workers have been on strike for almost one month at 27 stores across the GTA. The workers have been on strike since July 29 after the workers rejected a tentative agreement last month.
