Loblaws employees getting ready for a strike, says union

As many as 28,000 Loblaws employees in much of Ontario including Toronto are set to go on strike after a strike vote earlier this month. A meeting of Local 1000A of the  United Food and Commercial Workers rejected a tentative agreement between the union and Loblaws. Strike preparations are in order, with picket captains being trained this week, according the union local’s website.
