It&#8217;s why he&#8217;s wasting upwards of a billion dollars of our money to fast-track privatized alcohol sales and hand more of the public revenues generated by the LCBO over to the CEOs and big box grocery and convenience chains like Loblaws and Circle K,&#8221; said OPSEU\/SEFPO President JP Hornick in a media release today. &#8220;We told Ford not to ruin everybody&#8217;s summer, but now he&#8217;s closed the Science Centre and forced a dry summer for Ontarians by refusing to offer a deal that would be good for LCBO workers and&nbsp;Ontario.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the release, 70 percent of LCBO workers are casual\u2014they don&#8217;t have guaranteed hours, which means most won&#8217;t have access to benefits and there aren&#8217;t opportunities to move into permanent part-time and full-time positions. &#8220;We want a better future for our members, the LCBO, and&nbsp;Ontario.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The province <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/ontario-expanding-sale-of-alcoholic-beverages-starting-this-summer\/\">announced in May that it would be further expanding the sale of alcohol products in Ontario<\/a><\/span> beyond LCBO retail stores. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Throughout negotiations, the union proposed an alternative plan to Ford&#8217;s alcohol everywhere scheme and made it clear to Ford and the LCBO we&#8217;re ready to strike for it,&#8221; states the release from the union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the LCBO, if workers walk off the job, stores will close for 14 days. After 14 days, only 30 of the 669 LCBO retail stores across the province will open for in-store shopping. They will operate on limited hours for three days a week, on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More than 9,000 LCBO workers are set to walk off the job on Friday after talks with the Crown Corporation broke down.
