Liquor Control Board of Ontario workers have delivered their union a 93% strike vote.
The vote was held Monday and Tuesday night and was called by the bargaining team late last month after what they described as management’s “complete lack of respect for workers.”.
Ontario Public Service Employees Union President Warren “Smokey” Thomas says he hopes this clear result will “wake up this management team to the reality of the situation.”
The OPSEU bargaining team will now return to the table with a strong mandate from their members.
The workers collective agreement with the LCBO expired on March 31st.
