CBC: Goodwill closes stores across GTA due to 'cash flow crisis' [View all]

Goodwill Industries is temporarily closing 16 stores, 10 donation centres and 2 offices in southern Ontario due to a "cash flow crisis," according to a statement from Keiko Nakamura, chief executive officer of Goodwill Toronto, Eastern, Central and Northern Ontario.
The closures affect 450 employees, many of whom showed up to work early Sunday morning to find that they were locked out without any explanation from management.
A crudely printed sign in the Richmond Street East storefront in Toronto said simply that the store was closed "due to unforeseen circumstances."
Locations in Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Newmarket, Barrie, Orillia and Brockville are closed until management can meet with representatives of the Canadian Airport Workers Union, which represents the employees.
