En cette première fin de semaine de grève historique pour les travailleuses et travailleurs de la LCBO, la force syndicale des membres de l’OPSEU/SEFPO et de leurs alliés de la communauté et du mouvement syndical en général a attiré une couverture médiatique massive dans toute la province.
De nombreux reportages soulignent que les travailleurs de première ligne de la LCBO sont déterminés à lutter pour l’avenir de la LCBO, pour dénoncer le plan de Doug Ford qui vise à détourner les revenus de 2,5 milliards de dollars de la LCBO dans les poches des milliardaires et propriétaires des magasins à grande surface, et pour obtenir la création de bons emplois dans leurs collectivités.
