Labour Disruption
Unifor, representing 2,100 DHL Express Canada workers, went on strike after the company locked out employees over a contract disagreement, affecting parcel delivery nationwide.
The dispute arises from DHL's proposed changes to the driver pay system and plans to use replacement workers, countered by Unifor's focus on wages, working conditions, and workplace surveillance and automation.
Impact and Responses
The work stoppage could disrupt the transport of turbocharged race cars for the Formula One Canadian Grand Prix inl, highlighting the broader impact on significant events and services.
DHL Express claims the new payment system aims to adapt to Canada's economic and operational changes, offering a 15% salary increase over five years, but negotiations have stalled.
