LCBO Wants… Something?
June 23rd, 2009Whelp… the L.C.B.O. workers are threatening to strike. So get your butt to the Liquor store if you’re running low on anything cause tonight is the deadline.
L.C.B.O. workers want more full time jobs. 60% of LCBO workers fall into the casual worker category and earn an annual income of less than $20,800 per year. They also want to nix a management proposal to be able to issue 90-day layoff notices at any time and don’t like the idea of privatization on the L.C.B.O.
Many bloggers and much of the public seem to disagree. There has been a lot of comments about the current L.C.B.O. being a monopoly and even a few calls to strike so that Ontarians will realize that the sale of booze should be opened to the corner stores and grocers.
At least the privately owned Brewers Retail (a.k.a. The Beer Store) will still be open and I have a closet full of home made wine at home so I won’t have to brave any crowds tonight.
