The union representing LCBO workers will resume contract talks.
Around 10,000 workers began their strike on July 5th. The Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) says the main issue is Premier Doug Ford’s plan to let convenience and grocery stores sell ready-to-drink cocktails.
The union believes this move could threaten many jobs.
OPSEU has prepared a plan to present at the bargaining table. They aim to protect jobs and maintain the public revenue generated by LCBO sales. The union hopes this plan will address their concerns and end the strike.
It is a significant step towards resolving the labour dispute. Many are watching closely to see how the negotiations unfold and whether an agreement can be reached soon.
With thousands of workers affected and public interest high, the outcome of these talks will have a big impact on the community and the province’s economy.
