Progressive Conservative ministers blasts NDP ‘and their union friends’ for Manitoba liquor stores being closed over the weekend because of strike action
Manitoba’s minister responsible for the province’s liquor and lotteries corporation says people who are upset they can’t buy alcohol due to a strike by staff at Crown-owned liquor stores should blame “the NDP and their union friends.”
All Liquor Marts in Manitoba except two in Winnipeg were to be closed over the weekend due to an ongoing labour dispute. Some 1,400 workers who have been without a collective agreement for more than a year started a provincewide strike last week after the Crown-owned Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries shuttered more of its locations as contract talks stalled.
“ Wab Kinew and the union bosses don’t want you, the consumer, to have choice,” Smith said in Friday’s video, which featured him opening a beverage at the end of it. “If I were the premier of Manitoba, I would ensure that you, the people of Manitoba get your beer. And I would ensure that people who serve it to you are paid a fair wage. It’s that simple,” Kinew said in the video.
But union president Kyle Ross said in a news release that binding arbitration “could take a very long time, often more than a year,” which he said was “not acceptable.”
