Loomis Express Bargaining Committee (CNW Group/Unifor)

Loomis Express workers in eight provinces have issued a strike notice, affecting almost 1,500 Unifor members.

If a deal isn’t reached by 12:01 am tomorrow morning, they could walk off the job.

This affects drivers, owner-operators, call centre staff, and clerical and warehouse workers in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.

The Loomis workers, members of Unifor Locals 114, 4050, 755, 4457 and 4005, have been working without a contract since March 31, 2022.

Wages and secure hours are the sticking points of the deal.

Strike action will affect Loomis customers and could impact Transforce properties including Canpar Express, ICS Courier, TForce Final Mile and TForce Integrated solutions.
