TORONTO—  Postmedia's Toronto printing plant press room workers have applied to be certified as a union under the Canadian Media Guild. The union, part of CWA Canada,  filed  with the Ontario Labour Relations Board this week when a majority of the plant's workers signed union cards. The Union says Postmedia cut workers wages during the pandemic   even though the company was deemed  an essential services , and did not  do enough to ensure their safety. The union claims the  plant's workers have endured year after year of cuts to pay, hours, vacation and benefits — including wage cuts  since the COVID-19 pandemic started. The Union claims “ Postmedia has been paying millions a year to its top executives and tens of millions to its hedge fund owners / lenders".  Postmedia sold the printing plant on Islington Avenue for $30 million and  arranged to lease a portion of the property for up to 10 years. The company  used the net proceeds to pay down debt.
