Toronto Plaza Hotel strike on 11th week, still waiting for results

This week marks week 11 of the Toronto Plaza Hotel's employee strike.

On May 30, about forty workers at the 200-room hotel walked off the job. They have been protesting wage and benefit cuts ever since.

According to the Toronto Star, employees accepted a wage freeze and cuts to their benefits in 2011. Benefits were supposed to be reinstated in spring of 2013, but never were.

Hotel owner Rehan Chaudary said he would like to give his employees "a very good package", but is unable to because the hotel is struggling.

A rally will be held in front of the hotel by the Ontario Federation of Labour on Thursday, August 15.
