The United Food and Commercial Union members at the Maple Leaf Foods facility at Courtney Park in Mississauga are on strike.
The 187 union members said Maple Leaf should be ashamed of the offer it put on the table.
They said most of the workers at the plant make less than $25 an hour which Is considered a “living wage” in that community.
Kelly Tosato, president of the union local, said “Maple Leaf Foods is a company that brands itself as a proud Canadian company that is committed to the health of its employees. Its sales came in at $4.8 billion last year. The company should be ashamed at the offer it brought to these workers.”
The plant makes stuffed, battered, and breaded chicken and pork products
