"This pandemic has shown that our public services are vital to Ontario's strength and resilience," said OPSEU Liquor Board Employees Division Chair Colleen MacLeod. "LCBO stores need to be kept public to support our hospitals, schools, and all of our valuable public services. And our essential workers at the LCBO who put their lives at risk to serve Ontarians need to be treated fairly and given paid sick days.
"The LCBO keeps our kids and communities safe. We need to keep it public and treat workers with the respect they deserve!"
