LCBO Strike Deadline

Employees with the Liquor Control Board of Ontario in Kenora have set up their strike headquarters.

Members of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union will be in a legal strike position by midnight tonight.

Randy Robinson is an OPSEU spokesperson and says employees want to share in a very profitable crown corporation.

Robinson says the talks with the LCBO are under a media black outand he can't discuss the specific issues on the table.

However, he does say they are concerned with the large number ofpart time workers employed by the LCBO who don't enjoy workplace benefits.
