Negotiations between the Liquor Control Board of Ontario and the union representing its workers will remain a secret ahead of a possible strike that could begin as early as Monday.
The LCBO and OPSEU had said they planned to negotiate around the clock ahead of the strike deadline set at 12:01 a.m. Monday.
But details of the bargaining are under a “media blackout”, which OPSEU says was imposed by a conciliator Saturday morning.
The union says it won’t be providing any information about the talks while the blackout is in effect.
Both sides previously said that while they’re working toward a solution, consumers, bars and restaurants would be wise to make their purchases this weekend, just in case.
The LCBO said it had extended store hours — detailed on its website — so customers could get their shopping done.
