UNION MEMBERSHIP RATIFIES TENTATIVE AGREEMENT

July 21, 2024 – Toronto – LCBO is pleased that the renewal collective agreement has been ratified by employees. This will end the strike of our 10,000 unionized team members at 12:01 a.m. tomorrow. Full ratification by government will follow.

We again thank the negotiating teams for LCBO and OPSEU, as well as the mediator, for their work in reaching an agreement that is fair for our unionized employees and helps the LCBO operate efficiently and effectively for Ontarians in a changing marketplace.

As we welcome back our valued employees, we are focused on returning to our normal operations in support of our retail and wholesale customers and of Ontario’s beverage alcohol industry. Our in-store team members will be ready to serve customers on Tuesday.

This was the first strike in LCBO’s history. We thank our customers for their understanding and patience as we make the necessary adjustments to return to the service levels expected from us.
