TORONTO — Talks are continuing today between the Liquor Control Board of Ontario and its workers, who have threatened to go on strike at one minute past midnight.
But there’s no word on how the talks between the LCBO and the Ontario Public Service Employees Union are going.
A conciliator involved in the negotiations has imposed a media blackout and neither side will comment.
The blackout remained in force as of noon.
Although the union has threatened job action if a deal isn’t reached by midnight, union president Smokey Thomas had previously expressed confidence an agreement would be worked out.
The LCBO extended store hours for its outlets the past couple of days to allow customers more time to stock up.
A few stores are open late in downtown Toronto on Sunday because of pride festivities but most stores will close at 6 p.m.
