More than 250 workers at the CN Tower, one of the most iconic tourist sites in Toronto, have been locked out just before Canada Day, their union said on Monday.
The decision to lock out workers including hosts, wait staff, bartenders and cooks at the start of peak tourist season "speaks volumes," and is a blow to Toronto's economy, Unifor said in a statement.
CN Tower, which is operated by Crown corporation Canada Lands Company, said on its website that although food services are temporarily closed during the labour disruption, the building's observation levels, EdgeWalk and shop remain open.
