Nearly two weeks after Metro workers began striking at 27 locations across the GTA, the grocery giant said profits skyrocketed in its last quarter.

By July 1, net earnings increased by 26 per cent over the previous year — rising from $275 million to $346.7 million.

this while 70% of Metro's jobs are part-time and workers are paid an average of $16-$17/hour
