Farmers using the Ontario Food Terminal in Toronto are experiencing minimal disruptions due to a strike by employees of one of the tenants.
Food Terminal board chair Alison Robertson says it’s the employees of one tenant that are out on strike. A CBC Toronto online news story from April 21 says the business, called Fresh Taste Produce, supplies produce to retailers Metro and Sobey’s.
Robertson says the strike is slowing down incoming trucks but everyone is following the picket protocol that has been set up to minimize disruptions.
“Everybody is very respectful in following the protocol so it doesn’t hinder people too much,” she says.
The Food Terminal is Canada’s largest wholesale fruit and vegetable facility. More than 5,000 Ontario businesses buy produce at the facility.
The picket protocol is available on the Food Terminal board website. BF
