The L-C-B-O says it is “looking for clarity” on the bargaining priorities of the union representing its striking workers after the union’s president said job security was their main concern rather than the province’s plan to make ready-to-drink cocktails available in more stores.
The liquor retailer says if the union is prepared to agree that ready-to-drink beverages are an issue of public policy and not negotiations, then the union should respond to its offer from July 4th, which includes wage increases.
More than nine-thousand workers went on strike last Friday in a move the union says is to fight for the future of the retailer and its revenue.
The L-C-B-O says it is ready for negotiations to restart.
