LCBO Strike Averted…For Now.

Both sides in the LCBO dispute have agreed to stick a cork in
strike plans and keep bargaining until they strike a deal.
But if either side walks away from the table, a strike that was scheduled to begin this morning would likely be back on.
An OPSEU official says the union would not be extending the
strike deadline if it didn’t feel it could forge a new contract through negotiation.
The strike threat prompted many people to stock up on alcohol and some empty shelves may greet customers at some stores today.
