B.C. restaurants, hotels and liquor retailers are worried about revenue loss as the BCGEU strike continues at BC Liquor Distribution Branch warehouses.

B.C. restaurants and tourism sector businesses claim provincewide shortages of imported alcohol, spirits and ready-to-drink cans are growing each day because of the ongoing BCGEU strike.

The alliance says the warehouses have a hold of about 40% of all alcohol in B.C., with the rest coming from domestic suppliers with their own warehouse delivery.The alliance stated Aug. 24 the BCGEU’s job action is “yet another crushing blow” to the hospitality and tourism sector, which is only beginning to recover from the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions on venue capacity.

“Now once again, our industries will unfairly bear the brunt of serious economic consequences including business closures and layoffs, cancelled events such as concerts and weddings, loss of consumer confidence, and damage to B.C.’s reputation among tourists and consumers,” said Tostenson. In 2019, B.C.'s tourism industry generated some $22.3 billion in revenue and supported more than 250,000 jobs, the alliance claimed.
