Labour Talks for LCBO Workers

The LCBO and the union representing thousands of workers are meeting tomorrow for contract talks.

If those negotiations fail, workers have voted 93 per cent in favour of striking.

The union says full-time positions are being replaced by part-time and contract work.

But the LCBO says contract jobs are necessary because there's a peak in demand at certain times of the year, such as Christmas and summer.

The contract for about six-thousand LCBO workers expired at the end of March.
