Agrifood giant Cargill has announced plans to consolidate its Ontario "case-ready" meat processing work at Guelph and shut its Toronto-area plant at Etobicoke early next year.
Cargill Meat Solutions, the company's meat processing wing, didn't specify a date other than the "spring of 2011," but said Monday the move will affect about 600 unionized employees and 90 managerial jobs in Etobicoke.
