TORONTO — Workers for Ontario's main liquor retailer, who say the government's plan to open up the alcohol market poses an existential threat to their jobs, are now on strike, with stores expected to stay closed for at least 14 days.
"Welcome to Doug Ford's dry summer," read the video caption, posted to the union's social media page. The LCBO said its latest proposal responded to a number of the workers' demands but the union did not make a counter-offer. It said it was"disappointed" by the union's strike move, but remained hopeful a fair deal could be reached quickly.
