The union that represents employees at the Liquor Control Board of Ontario will be in a legal strike position as of 12:01 a.m. on June 26. The Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU), which represents the workers, received a "no board" report from Ontario's labour ministry on Friday after it requested one earlier this week. The report means the workers could go on strike or could be locked out before the Canada Day long weekend. (David Donnelly/CBC)Thomas said elected union leaders who represent liquor board employees are meeting in Toronto on Friday to fill out paperwork for a possible strike. The LCBO's 7,500 unionized workers have been without a contract since March 31 and voted 93 per cent in favour of giving union negotiators a strike mandate in April.
