SMART Sheet Metal Workers in Toronto, London, Hamilton, Thunder Bay, Niagara, and Ottawa — among others — have gone on strike as a response to the status of talks between the union and the Ontario Sheet Metal Contractors Association. The talks are not based around money, but about working conditions for people employed by Ontario contractors.
The previous three-year contract ran out May 1.
