LCBO staff in Haliburton picket to ask for public support ahead of possible strike

Staff at the LCBO in Haliburton held a picket today to ask for the publics support as ti faces off against the Liberal Government.

The union representing employees say the Liberal government and the LCBO are pushing a privatization agenda that is threatening to replace LCBO jobs with Walmart jobs.

In response, Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) members who work at the LCBO in Haliburton held a picket to ask the public to support their plan for “A Better LCBO.” OPSEU says workers have been stuck in casual positions for years often working seven days a week while taking home less than $30,000 a year.

They held signs that said “union workers doing union jobs” and “stopping privatization” while holding a giant caricature of Premier Kathleen Wynne.

The Union asked the ministry for a “no board report” today and if issued staff would be in a position to strike within 17 days.
