TORONTO — Workers at Ontario's main liquor retailer have set a date to strike in early July if they cannot come to an agreement with their employer.
The Liquor Control Board of Ontario workers are seeking wage increases and more full-time jobs, saying part-time roles have become 70 per cent of their workforce. "But we've been meeting with the LCBO since March and they're not listening, so something's got to give." The union, which represents about 10,000 workers with the LCBO, is fearful of job losses after Premier Doug Ford's government announced plans to open up the alcohol market to allow convenience stores and all grocery stores to sell beer, wine and ready-to-drink cocktails.The LCBO has said it wants to avoid a strike, but said it will ensure continued customer service during a work stoppage.
