Workers at the Postmedia printing plant in Toronto are now officially unionized after voting to join the Canadian Media Guild (CWA Canada Local 30213). The  Ontario Labour Relations Board approved an application  after workers voted 48 to 18 to join the union.  In June the Union filed for  a certification vote.

The union says the printing plant’s workers have endured years of cuts to pay, hours, bonuses, vacation and benefits — including wage cuts introduced since the COVID-19 pandemic began. Postmedia sold the printing plant on Islington Avenue ( old Quebecor plant) for $30 million and  arranged to lease a portion of the property back. The company  used the net proceeds to pay down debt.
