LCBO workers are in a legal strike position on June 26, raising the possibility it could be a dry Canada Day. DOUG IVES / TORONTO STAR ) Order this photoBooze could be hard to come by on the Canada Day long weekend with unionized workers at the LCBO in a legal strike position starting June 26. “As the long weekend approaches, we would encourage all of our customers, both retail and wholesale, to ensure they have made their purchases prior to the strike deadline,” the liquor store said in a statement. The union accuses the LCBO of leaving workers “trapped” in part-time positions for decades and charges employment practices leave too many liquor store workers vulnerable. The government’s new workplace legislation would improve protections for part-time workers, raise the minimum wage to $15 by 2019 and increase the legal minimum for holidays to three weeks after five years working at a company.
