A Hamilton-area Tim Hortons is under fire for its response to Ontario’s new minimum wage laws.

A rally is being held outside a Tim Hortons franchise in Dundas, after reports that it rolled back worker’s benefits and paid breaks after the province’s minimum wage hike came into effect.

Wednesday’s event is being organized by the Hamilton & District Labour Council.

Members of CUPE 5167, which represents workers in the Hamilton area, will be participating in the rally.

“Like workers across the Hamilton region, our members value the importance of fair wages and decent working conditions,” CUPE 5167 says in a statement.

“Fair wages allow workers to support and raise families in their communities, thereby contributing to the growth of those communities. Decent working conditions, like appropriate paid-breaks for front-line workers, are essential in a progressive work environment.”

The rally is planned for the Tim Hortons at 38 York Rd. between 5 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.
