Metro workers on strike and a Hot Labour Summer
Right now, some 3,700 workers from 27 Metro grocery stores across the Greater Toronto Area are on strike \u2013 and they\u2019re not alone. From British Columbia\u2019s ports to Manitoba\u2019s liquor stores to Hollywood, a wave of people across different industries have gone on strike this summer. \n\nToday on Front Burner, we head to a Metro picket line in East Toronto. We talk to workers there about what\u2019s at stake for them as they strike, and take a closer look at what\u2019s driving this recent labour unrest with McGill University\u2019s Barry Eidlin, author of \u2018Labor and the Class Idea in the United States and Canada\u2019\n\nFor transcripts of this series, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts
