Facts
Canada Post owns 91% of Purolator shares. When CUPW members went on strike in 2024, Purolator profited from Canada Post customers using their services instead. This undermined strike efforts, and CUPW members began also picketing outside of a Purolator facility in Toronto.
The picketing involved CUPW members providing information to vehicles entering and exiting the building. On November 29, 2024, CUPW members also engaged in picketing that delayed vehicles from exiting the building, with the exception of vehicles delivering medical supplies.
Purolator responded by calling the Toronto Police Services. However, the police informed Purolator that there were no grounds to remove the CUPW members. Next, Purolator sought an ex parte injunction to have CUPW members removed from the property. The ONSC granted the injunction on November 30, 2024, without CUPW present.
