The backlash against both Tim Hortons and individual franchise owners continues to rage after some owners cut employee benefits to offset Ontario’s minimum wage hike.
The restaurant chain’s Facebook page has been flooded with hundreds of angry comments from customers, and protests are taking place today at several Tim Hortons outlets in Ontario to demand employees get their benefits back.
“It’s definitely hurting Tim Hortons’ image,” said retail expert Bruce Winder about the growing backlash. “This could really multiply into something significant.”

Sisters and Brothers,
We wish you a Happy New Year and hope you have enjoyed some time with your friends and family.
As the Bargaining Committee met with Bell in Toronto during the week of December 18, you showed great solidarity and strength.
On December 19th the full Bargaining Caucus, with representatives from locals across Ontario and Quebec, and National President Jerry Dias, Québec Director Renaud Gagné and Ontario Regional Director Naureen Rizvi joined the Bargaining Committee for negotiations on our key issues of job erosion and wages. Bell was told in no uncertain terms that Unifor members are demanding stronger job protection in this round of negotiations.
These clear voices in our negotiation sessions were amplified by each of you wearing red at work, by the flags that you signed and by the many actions, social media posts and events that have marked this round of bargaining.
