LCBO Workers Approve Strike Action

Not good news for those who enjoy a good glass of wine or a tasty beverage.
Unionized employees of the Liquor Control Board of Ontario have voted 95% in favour of a strike should contract talks with the retail giant break down.
The employees’ four-year contract with the LCBO ended March 31st and the two sides have been in bargaining since mid-February without making any progress.
Contract talks are scheduled to resume today and more bargaining dates are set for later this month and in May.
The Ontario Public Service Employees Union says the key issues include boosting part-time wages and
upgrades to health and safety standards.
The provincial Crown corporation says it is disappointed but not surprised with the strike mandate.
