CN Tower Drama: Workers Locked Out, No Cap! 🇨🇦🏢

The Deets

Okay, so here's the sitch: 250 workers at the CN Tower just got straight-up locked out by the Canada Lands Company. We're talking hosts, servers, bartenders – the whole crew. Apparently, their contract expired, and they couldn't reach a deal in time. Drama!

The union, Unifor, is super salty about it. They're saying the company pulled a fast one, especially since it's happening right before Canada Day, which is peak tourist season. They're out here fighting for better pensions (apparently, they haven't seen a glow-up in over 15 years!), wages that keep up with inflation, and some actual improvements to their benefits and workplace safety. Like, basic stuff, right?

But the Canada Lands Company is playing it cool. They're claiming they've been negotiating since April and that they dropped their "best offer" on June 26th. They're saying the union didn't even respond, which is sus. But tbh, we're hearing two sides of the story, and it's hard to know who's really telling the truth.

Anyways, here's the tea for anyone planning to visit the CN Tower: The observation decks, EdgeWalk, and the gift shop are still open, so you can still get those fire pics for the 'gram. But the restaurants and cafes? Totally closed. So, if you're trying to grab a bite, you're gonna have to BYOF (bring your own food) and drinks (non-alcoholic only, tho). Keep it 100!
