We have taken note of the complaint filed by the union with the Tribunal administratif du travail in the context of the ongoing labour dispute.
This matter will be reviewed by the appropriate authorities, and no decision has been rendered to date. METRO will fully cooperate with the process and will present the facts supporting its position.
Since the beginning of the conflict, METRO has fully complied with the Labour Code and has implemented measures to continue meeting the needs of its customers across Québec, in accordance with the applicable legal framework. The company reiterates that it is acting in compliance with its obligations and denies the allegations that it is using illegal replacement workers.
Since the beginning of the conflict, METRO has been determined to reach a viable and reasonable agreement quickly. At METRO’s request, a conciliator was appointed by the Ministry of Labour and meetings have begun.
METRO is a Quebec-based company, headquartered in Quebec, which operates in a context of intense competition with major Canadian and international players. It already offers good working conditions that compare favourably with those of the competition, in addition to offering long-term quality jobs here in Quebec.
