Unifor members on strike against HCL Logistics

LONDON-Members of Unifor Local 27 have initiated legal strike action against the warehousing firm HCL Logistics, a subsidiary of Metro Supply Chain Group.

"The cost of living is rising, and workers across the country are demanding that their wages and working conditions keep up," said Unifor National President Lana Payne.

HCL Logistics provides warehousing and logistics support to companies large and small. HCL stores military equipment for General Dynamics (NYSE: GD).

The 147 members of Local 27 began strike action on July 22.

"Thanks to Unifor members, the company's financial health is strong. It is not too much to ask to receive fair compensation," said Ontario Regional Director Samia Hashi.

Unifor is Canada's largest union in the private sector, representing 320,000 workers in every major area of the economy. The union advocates for all working people and their rights, fights for equality and social justice in Canada and abroad, and strives to create progressive change for a better future.
