Unifor members at DHL Express Canada locked out after refusing to accept concessions
TORONTO, June 8, 2025 /CNW/ - Unifor members at DHL Express Canada were locked out by their employer after midnight on June 8, after the workers refused to accept concessions put forth by the company. "We will not stand by while DHL locks out our members across the country and threatens to use scabs in an attempt to pressure our members to take concessions. Our members deserve respect and a fair contract," said Unifor National President Lana Payne. "We expect DHL to abide by the law on the books, passed unanimously by Parliament, which will come fully into force later this month. A law that bans the use of replacement works in a legal dispute. It is reprehensible that this company thinks they can bust our members' right to fair and free collective bargaining by using scab labour." Some concessions the company is pushing include change driver pay system resulting in a loss of money, driving 100 km. to get to their routes or pick up their freight with no compensation. Other concessions involve proposing language that will allow the company to refuse accommodation, laying off employees, and proposing reducing drivers' daily guarantee. The company has also rerouted pickups across the whole country while reducing pay for owner operators. Hours before the deadline, the employer added numerous new proposals and concessions. The union's bargaining priorities remain improving working conditions—including access to clean and secure washrooms—securing fair wages, addressing surveillance and automation issues and recognition and respect for workers. The company filed its intention to lock out workers on June 4 – four days before the deadline to reach an agreement. "By imposing a lockout, DHL is choosing confrontation over negotiation," said Unifor Quebec Director Daniel Cloutier. "This is a serious decision that deprives dedicated workers of their livelihoods. But let's be clear: our members will not be intimidated. They are united, standing strong, and determined to obtain the respect and working conditions they deserve." Unifor DHL members voted 97% for strike action if necessary last month. Unifor represents over 2,100 DHL Express Canada workers who as truck drivers, couriers, warehouse and clerical workers across Canada, at Locals 114 in British Columbia, 700 in Quebec, 755 in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, 4005 in Nova Scotia, 4457 in Ontario and members in DHL Alberta. Unifor's legal department sent a letter to DHL, cautioning them of hiring scabs –– as anti-scab legislation, which the union campaigned diligently for, is set to come in on June 20. The union firmly believes the timing of the lockout notice is tied to the incoming legislation. The German-based parcel delivery giant's annual profit is roughly $3.3 billion Euro ($4.6 billion CDN) and revenue from its significant and growing North American enterprise is worth approximately ($9.4 billion CDN). And yet, the employer is demanding changes and concessions to working conditions that will negatively affect the pay of Unifor DHL members. Customers in Canada will likely be affected if they use other couriers, including UPS and Loomis, because of integrated contracts with other freight companies. DHL Express Canada has 50,000 customers, including Temu, SHEIN, Lululemon and Siemens Canada. The labour dispute could also potentially cause major disruptions to the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal, June 13 to 15, due to DHL's responsibility for transporting Formula One vehicles. Unifor is Canada's largest union in the private sector, representing 320,000 workers in every major area of the economy. The union advocates for all working people and their rights, fights for equality and social justice in Canada and abroad, and strives to create progressive change for a better future.

Billionaires Ken Griffin and Israel Englander Are Buying a Beaten-Down Growth Stock -- and It Could Turn $10,000 Into $100,000
Sweetgreen (NYSE: SG) is one of the more disruptive companies in the retail/restaurant industry today. The company has brought a new concept to the fast-casual format as the largest fast-casual salad chain in the U.S. That menu seems to be resonating with customers. Sweetgreen is rapidly adding new locations, and its average restaurant brings in $2.9 million in revenue, a number on par with fast-casual leader Chipotle. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » However, an even greater point of disruption from Sweetgreen may be its Infinite Kitchen, a robotic system to help expedite orders, saving money on labor and improving throughput. Of the 40 restaurants it plans to open this year, 20 will have an Infinite Kitchen. The company has also teased the idea of licensing the new technology, which could open up a new revenue stream. Despite that potential, Sweetgreen has had a forgettable year. Its stock is down 54% year to date through June 4. It has faced several challenges, including the wildfires in Los Angeles, one of its biggest markets and where the company is headquartered, and broader headwinds in the restaurant industry due to concerns about tariffs and other signs of a weakening economy. In its first-quarter earnings report, the company reported a same-store sales decline of 3.1%. It said quarter-to-date comps were down mid-single digits in the second quarter as concerns around tariffs picked up in April, weighing on demand. A fresh opportunity A 54% sell-off is disappointing for existing shareholders of the stock, but it creates an opportunity to scoop up this promising growth stock on the cheap. In fact, two billionaires did just that in the first quarter. Israel Englander's Millennium Management purchased 2.17 million shares of the restaurant stock, adding to a stake it started building in Q1 2023. Similarly, Ken Griffin's Citadel Advisors, which is often considered to be the best-performing hedge fund, added 1.27 million shares of Sweetgreen. Citadel first bought the stock when it went public in the fourth quarter of 2021. Buying the dip on Sweetgreen is risky, especially with an uncertain economy, and declining comparable sales are never a good sign for a restaurant chain. However, management's guidance calls for an improvement in same-store sales over the rest of the year, forecasting flat growth for the year. More importantly, the company's long-term growth opportunities are still significant. Will Sweetgreen be a ten-bagger? After the reset in the stock price, Sweetgreen's market cap has fallen to just $1.8 billion. That means the stock could turn $10,000 to $100,000 if its market cap reached $18 billion, a reasonable goal for a restaurant chain. Despite the weak same-store sales, Sweetgreen continues to aggressively open new stores. It plans to add 40 locations this year, growing the store base by 16%. Over the longer term, CEO Jonathan Neman sees the company growing to at least 1,000 stores, if not several thousand. This should drive the stock higher over the longer term, assuming Sweetgreen can pull off that expansion. In the meantime, the company is delivering strong average unit volumes of $2.9 billion, and its restaurant-level operating margin of 19% is good enough to drive profitability, especially as that margin is likely to increase over time. Investments in the Infinite Kitchen system seemed to have weighed on the bottom line but should spread out over time. Finally, Infinite Kitchen should give the company a competitive advantage in areas like labor and throughput, and the effect of the technology should eventually show in the financial results. Overall, Sweetgreen is the leader in a growing fast-casual category, its restaurants are generating strong traffic, and it has a potential technological advantage in Infinite Kitchen. The stock is risky, but the upside potential is there, especially once the economy improves. The company should return to same-store sales growth when that happens.

Will visa delays and border fears keep international fans away from the Club World Cup in the U.S.?
Fans fill the Rose Bowl as Chelsea plays Liverpool FC in an International Champions Cup soccer match , July 27, 2016, in Pasadena, Calif. (Carlos Delgado/AP Images for International Champions Cup, via AP, File) As the United States readies for the FIFA Club World Cup, concern over such things as international travel, fan safety and even economic uncertainty threaten to diminish enthusiasm for the tournament. The United States will see the arrival of 32 professional club teams from around the globe to 11 cities for the tournament. There's a US$1 billion prize pool. The Club World Cup is considered in many ways to be a dress rehearsal for the big event, the 2026 World Cup to be hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico. But there seems to be little buzz for the Club World Cup at home or abroad. The expansion of the field from seven to 32 teams has diminished the exclusivity of the event, and ticket sales appear slow. At the same time, the tournament is being played amid reports of foreign tourists being detained and visa processing delays. Chaotic U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement activities and U.S. President Donald Trump's travel bans aren't exactly reassuring international fans, either. Wary travelers, visa woes Trump's policies appear to have already impacted travelers. The U.S. National Travel and Tourism Office released data showing visitors to the U.S. from foreign countries fell 9.7 per cent in March compared to the same month last year. The travel forecasting company Tourism Economics has predicted that international arrivals would decline 9.4 per cent this year. The U.S. Travel Association, a nonprofit group that represents the travel industry, has urged the Trump administration to improve such things as visa processing and customs wait times ahead of a series of big sporting events on U.S. soil, including the Club World Cup beginning June 14, the Ryder Cup later this year, next summer's World Cup, and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Association President Geoff Freeman said, for example, that the wait in Colombia for a visa interview appointment is upwards of 18 months — already putting the 2026 World Cup out of reach for some travelers. He said his organization is working with the White House's World Cup Task Force to address issues. 'They (the task force) recognize how important this event is: success is the only option. So we're eager to work with them to do whatever it is we need to do to ensure that we can welcome the millions of incremental visitors that we think are possible,' Freeman said. 'But these underlying issues of visa and customs, we've got to address.' Secretary of State Marco Rubio, speaking at a House Committee on Foreign Affairs hearing last month, suggested consular staff could be put on longer shifts and that artificial intelligence could be used to process visas. 'We want it to be a success. It's a priority for the president,' said Rubio. But the Trump administration may have added to the concerns for international visitors by issuing a ban on travelers from 12 countries, with restrictions on travel from nine more countries. Iran, one of the countries named, has qualified for the World Cup. The proclamation included an exemption for 'any athlete or member of an athletic team, including coaches, persons performing a necessary support role, and immediate relatives, traveling for the World Cup, Olympics, or other major sporting event as determined by the secretary of state.' It did not mention fans. Fan fears There are signs current immigration policies were already impacting soccer fans and spurring worries over safety. A Latin American supporters group in Nashville stayed away from a recent Major League Soccer game because of ICE activity in the city. The city's Geodis Park is set to host three Club World Cup matches. Danny Navarro, who offers travel advice to followers on his social media platforms under the moniker TravelFutbolFan, said the World Cup Task Force announcement did not allay fears about travel, especially when Vice President JD Vance said, 'We want them to come. We want them to celebrate. We want them to watch the game. But when the time is up, they'll have to go home. Otherwise, they'll have to talk to (U.S. Homeland Security) Secretary (Kristi) Noem.' That insinuated fans visiting the United States for the World Cup could use it to stay in the country, which is nonsensical, Navarro maintained. For many countries, fans traveling to the World Cup — an expensive travel plan with hiked flight and hotel prices — are broadly viewed as higher-spending and lower-risk for host nation security planning. Navarro put the onus on FIFA. 'They must know that there is an anxiety among international travelers wanting to come in. They must know there's an anxiety among the U.S. fan base that is multicultural and wanting to go to all these places. Are they going to? Are they going to be harassed by ICE?' Navarro said. 'There is just a lot of uncertainty, I would say, too much uncertainty, that the fan base doesn't want to think about.' If you build it, will they come? It remains to be seen how outside factors will ultimately impact the Club World Cup, which is not the global spectacle or draw that the World Cup is. Ticket sales, which were based on a dynamic pricing model, appear to be slow, with lowered prices from earlier this year and a slew of recent promotions. For a match between Paris Saint-Germain and Botafogo at the Rose Bowl on June 19, there were wide swaths of available seats going for $33.45. FIFA created an incentive program that says fans who buy two or more tickets to the Club World Cup 'may' be guaranteed the right to purchase one ticket to the World Cup next summer. Navarro said economic uncertainty and fears of inflation may make fans hesitant to spend their money on the Club World Cup — when the more desirable World Cup is looming. In some host cities, there's little sign the Club World Cup is happening. A light rail station in Seattle had a lone sign advertising the event. The Seattle Sounders are among the teams playing in the tournament. Hans Hobson, executive director of the Tennessee State Soccer Association, suggested part of the problem is that, unlike the national teams that play in the World Cup, some of the club teams playing in Nashville are just not known to U.S. fans. 'It's not leagues that they watch. If it was the Premier League or the Bundesliga or something like that, then they'd go, 'Oh, I know players there. Let's go check it out,' Hobson said. There were tickets available to LAFC's match against Esperance Sportive de Tunisie in Nashville on June 20 for $24.45. FIFA President Gianni Infantino has traveled to several host cities to gin up enthusiasm. He has promised 'the world will be welcomed.' But some say the United States isn't exactly rolling out the red carpet for visitors in the current climate. 'I could see trepidation for anyone looking to travel to the U.S. at this current political climate,' said Canadian national team coach Jesse Marsch. 'So it's a sad thing, I think, that we have to talk about visiting the U.S. in this way but I think everybody has to make decisions that are best for them and that fit best with what's going on in their life and their lifestyle.'
