The Globe and Mail reports in its Monday, July 15, edition that Ontario's main liquor retailer says it no longer plans to open several locations for in-store shopping amid the continuing strike by thousands of its employees. A Canadian Press dispatch to The Globe reports that the Liquor Control Board of Ontario previously said it planned to open 32 stores three days a week with limited hours if the strike by members of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union went on for longer than two weeks. Instead, the LCBO said it is reallocating staff to other parts of its operations so it can better support bars, restaurants and other businesses. LCBO workers represented by the Ontario Public Service Employees Union walked off the job on July 5 after negotiations broke down. The LCBO said it has been able to serve retail customers since the strike began through on-line shopping, fulfilling orders within a week. The union represents about 10,000 LCBO workers. On Friday, the union said it is fighting for the future of the LCBO and Ontario, as it criticized Premier Doug Ford's plans to open up the province's alcohol market.
