The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) and the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) have reached a tentative agreement to end a two-week strike. The deal, announced on Friday, initially faced delays due to a dispute over the return-to-work protocol. However, the conflict was resolved, and the LCBO confirmed that stores will reopen on Tuesday. The strike, which began on July 5, involved 10,000 workers and led to the closure of liquor stores across Ontario. The agreement was finalized on Saturday.
