LCBO stores across Ontario are expected to be pretty busy today ahead of a strike deadline that might see thousands of unionized workers walk off the job.
The Ontario Public Service Employees Union, or OPSEU, which represents about 10,000 LCBO workers, will be in a legal strike position as of 12:01 a.m. tomorrow if a deal isn’t reached with the Crown corporation that retails alcohol.
Should OPSEU go on strike, all stores will close for 14 days.
In the meantime, customers will still be able to shop online and at 2,300 private retail shops.
These private stores include grocery stores, Beer Stores and the scores of small general stores in rural areas that are licensed to sell alcohol.
