By Steel: The average wage that was quoted in the article is not the truth. The Canada Bread location here in hamilton is not unionized and pay just slighty over minimum wage. There may be some of the management types that could earn that much but the worker on the lines will not.

Maple Leaf has done a good job of closing many of the locations were workers were unionized, meaning be able to have access to benefits and pensions.

But then, many among us, think that those types of jobs and workers should not be entitled to the same.

And people wonder why the poverty rates are so high in this town, when workers paid minimum wage must go to the food banks because they cannot afford to live.
