Members of a union representing more than 5,000 Société des alcools du Québec employees have voted in favour of a strike that threatens to temporarily close some of the province’s government-owned liquor stores.
The labour group made the announcement Mar. 2 morning after a series of general assemblies in which 89 percent of participants approved a limited walkout totalling 15 days. The Syndicat des employés de magasins et de bureaux de la Société des alcools du Québec has not said if it plans to use those days, however, nor whether they would be consecutive.
