10,000 unionized LCBO employees return to work, stores to reopen Tuesday
Workers are back on the job today at Ontario’s main liquor retailer, but the Liquor Control Board of Ontario says stores won’t be open for business until Tuesday.
The union representing 10,000 of its workers announced Sunday that members had ratified a new deal with the liquor retailer to end a strike that had closed its stores for two weeks.
The ratification came after the deal seemed to be up in the air on Friday.
Both the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) and the LCBO had announced a tentative agreement had been reached but the union said the strike would continue after the employer refused to sign a return-to-work protocol.
The retailer said the union had introduced new monetary demands and the employer would file an unfair labour practice complaint.
After news Sunday of a deal between the LCBO and unionized workers to end a two-week-long strike, Ontario Premier Doug Ford said the sides “could have easily sat around the table.”
But the LCBO issued a statement on Saturday saying reopening plans were back underway, and a return-to-work protocol signed by both parties does not include any “new monetary items.”
OPSEU had said they believed Premier Doug Ford’s plan to expand alcohol sales to convenience stores and more grocery stores would threaten union jobs and the public revenue the LCBO provides to the province.
Ford has sped up those plans since the strike began on July 5, allowing grocery stores already licensed to sell beer and wine to also sell ready-to-drink cocktail beverages as of Thursday.
