The contract binding thousands of Loblaws workers from across Ontario expires Wednesday, July 1. 2015. This is Canada and the grocery chain will be closed in any case. Nor is there any certainty the strike will necessarily occur that week. It is known however that members of the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1000A have been asked to make themselves available for picket line training. The union represents 28,000 grocery store workers across the province. According to the statement on their website, the union plans to reach out to the company in an effort to return to the bargaining table.
