The Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) representing 10,000 LCBO workers ratified a new three-year agreement, ending a two-week strike. The agreement includes an 8% wage increase over three years, converting 1,000 casual employees to permanent part-time positions, and guarantees no store closures. Both the LCBO and OPSEU expressed gratitude for the support and the mediator’s assistance. The strike was partly in response to Premier Doug Ford’s plans to expand alcohol sales to convenience and grocery stores, which OPSEU feared would threaten jobs and public revenue.
