The Ontario Public Services Employee Union says it’s going to be a “dry summer” as thousands of LCBO workers walked off the job after the strike deadline passed without a new deal for employees.
We stopped by Simcoe and Waterford LCBO locations today. There were no picket lines, no posters… nothing, just locked doors.
We spoke with Jenna Mowbray, OPSEU unit steward local 497, who told us they’d like to see more full-time jobs.
She says currently around 70% of the workforce is casual with no guaranteed hours and no benefits.
Mowbray had this message to share with community members who may be inconvenienced by this strike.
All LCBO Locations will remain closed for the next 14 days however online orders will still be available to consumers.
