Nestle was just lying. The quotes from the union in the article make it clear there has been no progress in talks.

Negotiations with the Milkybar maker have had “zero advances”, the union said in a statement, with the next talks due to take place next week.

Speaking at a rally held yesterday (24 May), Eamonn Clarke, president of the Unifor’s Toronto branch, Local 252, said: “It’s important for the company to present a fair offer where they recognise the difficulties workers face nowadays.

“It’s not just about wages – it’s more than that. It’s about pensions and about their future. I’m proud of our members for not just looking at the short-term, but the long-term, and that’s why these proposals on pensions are so profound.”

Corporations lying to try to get sympathetic press, who could have guessed that could happen?
