After a 33-day strike, Metro grocery workers from 27 stores in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) have ratified a new collective agreement on Thursday, and will be receiving an “unprecedented” pay increase.

The workers, represented by Unifor, voted to ratify a second tentative deal, just two days after Metro was granted a temporary injunction restricting secondary picket lines that blocked fresh product deliveries to its stores.

“Workers made it abundantly clear that they needed to see real wage gains in the first year of the agreement to address the affordability issues they currently face, which is exactly what we accomplished in this new contract,” Unifor Local 414 president Gord Currie said in a statement.

More than 3,700 workers had been on strike since July 29, after rejecting the first tentative agreement recommended by their bargaining committee. Global’s Ahmar Khan has the details.
