On Tuesday, LCBO employees represented by the Ontario Public Service Employees Union rallied in 11 cities across the province, including in Toronto, Hamilton, Pickering, Mississauga and Ottawa to demand a stop to the"sell-off" of the Crown corporation by the provincial government."We will never, ever sell the LCBO. It's unfortunate their leader is actually misleading — let me be more blunt: lying — about us closing the LCBO.
"It's pretty clear that Doug Ford can't be trusted to tell the truth about LCBO privatization. This is the same government that was trying to sell off the Greenbelt to make their developer buddies even richer. And now they're trying to help big box grocery store CEOs get even richer from alcohol sales instead of protecting public services and good jobs in our communities," they continued.
Colleen MacLeod, Team Chair of the Liquor Board Employees Division Bargaining, added "the LCBO wants to remove the parts of our contract that stop them from closing LCBO stores, laying off permanent employees, and contracting out our work." "They also want to remove all caps on the number of grocery stores that sell alcohol. Doug Ford has a lot of nerve saying our jobs are 'secure' when his government tells the LCBO to bring that to the bargaining table.
