Ontarians could see long lineups at LCBO stores across the province today as customers prepare for a possible strike that will close all LCBO locations for the next two weeks.
About 10,000 LCBO employees represented by the Ontario Public Service Employees Union will be in a legal strike position as of 12:01 a.m. on Friday.
The LCBO has said that in the event of labour action, all LCBO retail locations will close for a period of 14 days “to transition to an updated operations model.”On July 19, if a deal has not been reached by the two sides, just 30 LCBO stores will open provincewide for in-store shopping but will only operate on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays with “limited hours in effect.
The LCBO has said that customers may wish to “stock up” on spirits and Vintages wine products, which are not sold at other alcohol retailers in the province.The union has said the primary point of contention at the bargaining table is the Ford government’s expansion of alcohol sales.
