Metro says tentative deal reached with striking grocery workers in Toronto

Metro Inc. says it has reached a tentative agreement with Unifor covering striking workers at 27 Metro grocery stores across the Greater Toronto Area.

Details of the tentative deal were not immediately available.

In a statement Wednesday, Metro called the agreement fair and equitable, adding that the deal was unanimously recommended by the union's bargaining committee and will put an end to the labour dispute if ratified.

The company said the agreement will be submitted to the employees for a ratification vote, which is expected to take place shortly.
