The LCBO workers know when they have management boxed into a corner, and are too ready to move in for the kill:
TheStar.com - LCBO workers threaten strike despite 'no sale’ vow
The provincial Liberals have painted themselves into a corner by being:
1. Desparate for $$$
2. Unwilling to privatize the LCBO (despite commissioning a report that points to doing just that.)
3. Wishing to appear palsy, walsy with the public sector unions
My guess is that Sorbara will cave to the unions before a work stoppage. The cash flow from the LCBO is just too important a cash flow for this profligate government.
I guess it's better to work for a government corporation that sells booze than for one that transmits power. The Hydro-One strike is saving the provincial treasury a pile of dough - that's why there is no pressure to settle it.
