TORONTO — The union representing workers at Ontario’s main liquor retailer says talks have broken down ahead of a strike deadline and it’s not hopeful that a deal can be reached.

The Ontario Public Service Employees Union has set a strike deadline of 12:01 a.m. Friday for its approximately 10,000 workers at the Liquor Control Board of Ontario.

Earlier Thursday, a union spokesperson said they were committed to bargaining a good deal for workers.

The LCBO has said if a strike takes place, all locations will close for 14 days, and if the strike continues, it will open 30 stores three days a week{ai:summary}<p>Labor dispute looms as Ontario liquor retailer union's negotiations collapse, strike pending.
