Ontario Food Terminal and Thupten Nyendak

Fresh Taste Produce: Until recently, Thupten Nyendak could’ve been one of them, according to NOW Magazine. He worked full-time for Fresh Taste Produce, one of the distribution companies at the Ontario Food Terminal. If you didn’t grow that piece of leafy green yourself, or buy it directly from a farmer at your local farmer market, chances are it would’ve been handled by a line of workers employed at the Ontario Food Terminal. Since April 21, Nyendak and 13 of his colleagues have been on strike, protesting low wages, lack of job benefits and workplace harassment. I meet with Nyendak, better known as Jack to his friends and co-workers, last Thursday morning on the picket line. They have been bargaining for a first contract since November.
