Ontarians may find their weekend plans disrupted for the next little while as nearly 10,000 LCBO workers have gone on strike as of Friday at 12:01 a.m.

While worker strikes are nothing new for Ontarians, this is the first time in the 97-year history of the LCBO that a mass strike has occurred. The Ontario Public Service Employees Union, or OPSEU, which represents the LCBO workers, announced the strike after talks with the Ford government over the expansion of alcohol sales to private businesses broke down.
