\u0027Though our sales were way up, we were less profitable in 2020 than we were in 2019, largely because of our commitments to people,\u0027 a Loblaw spokesperson said

Nearly a year since the top grocery chains in Canada cancelled their $2-per-hour pandemic bonuses for frontline staff in stores and warehouses, the clerks still wanted to know if it was coming back.

But Nilsson, who serves as a shop steward and area chairperson for private-sector union Unifor, said it isn’t enough. Irene Nattel, an analyst at RBC Dominion Securities Inc., called Loblaw’s results “solid and better than expected” in a note to investors on Wednesday. Unifor represents roughly 5,400 Loblaw employees. It also represents National Post editorial employees in Toronto, which includes the Financial Post.

“Though our sales were way up, we were less profitable in 2020 than we were in 2019, largely because of our commitments to people,” Thomas said in an email.
