A Winnipeg restaurant confirms it used the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy to subsidize scab labour during a strike.

Last September, workers at the flagship Stella’s restaurant location in Winnipeg went on strike, citing a “complete lack of respect” from restaurant management. Workers primarily demanded fair scheduling, a small wage increase and respect in the workplace.

In November, Stella’s management shut down the restaurant, claiming that the “union’s demands” and a lack of “financial resources” had made it impossible to continue operating. Although the restaurant placed “for sale” signs in its windows, its kitchen continued to operate for takeout.

Despite suggesting the union’s demands were too costly, Canada Revenue Agency records show Stella’s applied for and received government support through the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS).

Stella’s ownership has now confirmed to PressProgress that it used CEWS to cover the wages of three scab employees who continued to work during the strike.
