Yes, there is no question there are different pays depending on the discount stores. One point that can't get lost when you are talking about recommendations is—and I'll go back to Michelle's question—that the federal government needs to introduce some minimum wage legislation. I understand that it governs the federal government and the federal sector, not the provincial area, but it's about taking a leadership position.
What has happened through so many of our collective agreements is that yes, our members make more than minimum wage, but when you see maximum jumps such as minimum wage in Ontario under the Wynne government and in Alberta under the Rachel Notley government, many of our members, unionized and certainly non-union, got wage increases.
It shows that governments can play a real role here. The government, recognizing the important contribution of retail workers, should do something about it.
Paul laid out the history well, but there's no question that workers who work in a main street Loblaws will make more than those who work in the discount stores.
