  1. The lcbo is offering 0.75 for the retro pay for pandemic three year contract that was unconstitutional by Ont Superior Court. AND ITS LUMP SUM ! NOT an increase .

    1. Wow. That is terrible. Truly awful. Not like LCBO isn’t making money hand over fist ether. Just terrible.

  2. Please don’t take that 9%. The government can do alot more. Its unfair that that the MPs and ministers have given themselves up to 11% why can’t the working class get the same. This is so sad and unfair.

    1. Government doesn’t have any money of its own. It is our money that you are asking being paid more to these greedy employees.

    2. ​@Bahman Yaghoobi how can an employee be greedy? Making 50k a year? You don’t know what you’re talking about.

  3. They are not really asking for anything crazy from what I can tell. Wage parity with inflation is what anybody should ask for.

    1. They can leave. Tax payers are burden as is, we don’t need a massive government apparatus that does f all.

  4. Tell me that the government isn’t still at 9%. The union was at 13.5, which is already slightly below inflation…and the union has moved down from that number (maybe very slightly).

  5. It’s so embarrassing. They want 13.5% and stay home..what a slap in the face to the worker at Tim Hortons, that would love a 9% raise..and they don’t stay home.

    I’d like to see them block me. Entitled goofs

    1. Tim Horton’s workers can apply for federal government jobs. And if Timmy wants to retain them, he should think about giving better pay and working conditions.

  6. Nothing like pitting workers against other workers to get others to conform. The nail that sticks out attracts the hammer. Imagine wanting your workers to essentially accept a cut because of gov policies and spending.
