*Join a Tim Hortons action near you tomorrow, Wednesday, January 10. 
Read below for more details!*

When Ontario’s minimum wage increased to $14, Tim Hortons immediately 
began to eliminate workers’ paid breaks, reduce access to basic drug and 
dental benefits, eliminate uniform and drink allowances, and even cut 
employees’ hours of work.

This is outrageous coming from a wildly profitable multinational 
corporation.

  * In 2016, Tim Hortons generated US$3 billion in revenue for its
    parent company Restaurant Brands International Inc. (RBI).
  * That same year RBI CEO Daniel Schwartz pocketed $6,173,993 in wages,
    stock options and other perks.
  * An additional US$350 million in profits were given out to shareholders.

*TELL TIM HORTONS: Hands off workers’ wages & benefits!*

  * The Tim Hortons corporation dictates virtually every detail of the
    franchise-owners’ business practice.
  * It even stipulates the required net worth (at least $1.5 million) of
    any potential franchise owner.
  * As the supplier of Tim Hortons products, the corporation sets the
    price of everything from sugar to its pre-cooked donuts. It’s clear
    the parent corporation has the power to fully restore workers’
    wages, benefits and working conditions.

*TAKE ACTION:*

*Tweet @TimHortons #TimHortons #15andFairness*

  * The Ontario’s new labour laws were intended to improve the wages and
    working conditions of employees – especially those at the lowest
    rungs of the income ladder.
  * Demand that Restaurant Brands International Inc. (RBI) take whatever
    steps necessary to ensure that its company and Tim Hortons franchise
    owners respect the spirit of the new laws.

*Join an action near you tomorrow!*

On *Wednesday January 10*, there will be actions at *several Tim Hortons 
locations* across Ontario to call on the Restaurant Brands International 
– the owner of the Tim Hortons chain – to issue a directive to every 
franchise owner to rescind any and all punitive measures against workers.

*Toronto:*

  * Markham & Lawrence (3488 Lawrence Ave E) 8:00 am
  * Keele & Wilson (2708 Keele St) 8:00 am
  * Spadina & College (455 Spadina Ave) 8:00 am
  * Bloor & Dufferin (1094 Bloor St West) 8: 00 am

  * UofT: Bloor & St. George (264 Bloor St W) 2:00 pm
  * YorkU: Keele & Steeles (4700 Keele St) 3:00 pm

The company that has the power to stop the franchises from further cuts 
is the owner of the chain, Restaurant Brands International. We are 
putting pressure on the owners by going to these locations.

Not all of the franchise locations may have cut workers’ benefits in 
reaction to the minimum wage hike, however, we are still asking you to 
come out to the franchises listed above.

*SAVE THE DATE:*

These actions will be followed by an action at the Restaurant Brands 
International headquarters in Oakville on Monday, January 15 at 3:00 pm.

We hope to see you at one of the Tim Hortons tomorrow!

If you have any questions, please contact Melisa Bayon at mbayon at ofl.ca.
