The 260 food services workers at Humber's Lakeshore and North campuses, represented by Unifor Local 414, reached a tentative deal with Compass Group.
This tentative deal averted a strike slated to begin at 12:01 a.m. Nov. 21. The members voted in favour of a strike if needed on Sept. 20.
The major issue was wages, as many of the workers make just slightly more per hour than Ontario's minimum wage of $17.60, the union said. The living wage in Toronto is considered to be $27.20 an hour, the union said.
Unifor members work at kiosks such as Tim Hortons, Subway, Starbucks, Booster Juice and Pizza Pizza.
More to come.
