It was eight weeks ago Friday that a labour dispute began at Windsor Salt – and it may be impacting those looking to pick up a box of locally-mined table salt
“It has been reported locally and further in Ontario that there are food grade salt stocks being depleted,” said Bill Wark, president of Unifor Local 1959
Local 1959 and Local 240 represent about 250 unionized workers who have been off the job since February 17
Any table salt shortage, Wark said, would likely be because of that labour disruption
CTV News stopped by four different grocery stores across the City of Windsor, Ont. and was unable to find that classic blue-topped box of table salt in any of them
Other Windsor Salt products such as pickling salt, kosher salt, and individual pre-packaged shakers of salt were available – but even online retailers show the 1kg package of table salt as “out of stock.”
