LCBO Strike Averted

Ontario residents and restaurant owners have a reason to raise a glass; a liquor strike has been called off.

Unionized Employees with the Licquor Control Board of Ontario reached the deal this afternoon after pushing past the original midnight deadline.

Kenora based Media Spokesperson Patt Brett says the deal will greatly improve working conditions at LCBO's in Northwestern Ontario.

The deal includes benefits for casual workers and more opportunities for full-time jobs.
