MEDIA ADVISORY - OPSEU/SEFPO to hold press conference after tentative settlement reached

TORONTO, July 19, 2024 /CNW/ - After two weeks of a historic strike, LCBO workers have reached a tentative settlement with the employer that will protect jobs in every community as well as public revenues generated by LCBO sales.

Details of the agreement will not be shared until they have been communicated to members, but the union is confident this agreement addresses the needs of workers and is a win for all Ontarians.

OPSEU/SEFPO will hold a press conference at 3 pm at the Sheraton Centre at 123 Queen St. W.

What: press conference
When: Friday, July 19 at 3 p.m.
Where: Sheraton Centre Hotel, 123 Queen St. W. – Willow Centre (mezzanine level)

The workers have made it clear all along – Premier Ford's alcohol everywhere plan directly threatened jobs and public revenues. And he forced this strike by fast-tracking it right in the middle of bargaining.

During the course of the strike the resolve of our members on the lines and the outpouring of support from our communities put pressure on the Ford Government to send the employer back to the table with a mandate to address our demands.
