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.
