TORONTO, May 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) Wine Rack workers, members of SEIU Local 2, gathered outside of the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan offices, to call on OTPP to take immediate action.
The workers, who are in bargaining with Wine Rack, say these are not “negotiations as usual.”
“We are under attack by Wine Rack,” said Radha Bhagat, who works at a store in downtown Toronto.
What might come as a surprise to some, is
who owns the company: The Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan, through one of its holdings, Arterra Wines Canada.
Some teachers are already voicing their support for the Wine Rack workers and are calling on their colleagues to do the same.
