June 24, 2024 – Toronto: Collective bargaining is currently underway between the LCBO and OPSEU, with the Union in a legal strike position as of 12:01 a.m. Friday, July 5.

While LCBO’s focus remains on achieving a deal that is fair to bargaining unit employees and helps the LCBO continue to operate effectively and efficiently for Ontario in a new marketplace, we are confident in our plan that will allow LCBO to continue serving our customers at this time. We offer the following guidance for shopping prior to July 4 to help prepare for the potential disruption to the retail customer experience.
