The union claims they supply around 1,000 Metro stores across Quebec, though management says it's closer to 300.聽

Management also said it was hoping a strike could be avoided.

鈥淲e are very disappointed by this decision, particularly given that we have been negotiating with the union for several months to reach an agreement that meets the needs of our employees and our customers in a highly competitive market,鈥� said Caroline Larocque, vice-president of logistics and distribution for Quebec at Metro, in a press release.

The grocer said it implemented a contingency plan 鈥渢o maintain a normal supply of products in the stores it serves鈥� during the strike.

The trade union, the F茅d茅ration du commerce, affiliated with the CSN, already has a mandate for an indefinite general strike, which was approved by 97 per cent of its members. The current strike is open-ended, depending on how the situation develops, the union announced on Monday.

Pay and working conditions are at the heart of the dispute.

The union is demanding a larger pay increase. The previous agreement provided for 11 per cent increases between 2019 and 2025.

Marie-Claude Bacon, vice-president of public affairs and communications at Metro, said the union is demanding a 20 per cent increase for the first year, followed by five per cent in each subsequent year. She said the demand is "unreasonable."

The union reports that the starting wage at the warehouse is $20.29 an hour and, at head office, $19.88 an hour.

Bacon specified that a 鈥渂enchmark employee鈥� at the warehouse earns $33.71 an hour, as they reach the top of the pay scale after five years.

The union also wants to protect drivers鈥� jobs and their working conditions against the use of subcontractors.

The option to work from home is also an issue for head office staff.聽

Health and safety at work are also part of the dispute.

Union president Matthieu Lafontaine said the union has already withdrawn several demands to focus on core priorities.

鈥淲e made several counter-proposals, but despite this, the employer remains light years away from what the workers want to achieve, namely a significant recovery of the purchasing power lost over recent years,鈥� he said.

Metro management stressed it is 鈥渄etermined to reach a negotiated agreement as soon as possible.鈥�
