LCBO Store Employees On Strike!
- Thread starter unassuming
- Start date
Prove what exactly? All the proof is in the thread. Just follow what was posted, when and by who. It's all there.
Why do you ask for proof only to then ignore the proof? Every time.
You need to apologize, not stall by asking for proof that you already have.
That's what happens when you jump into others discussions without having followed along first and then just make false accusations.
Apologize.
You actually think the cops pursue them? Theres a reason the prices are so high to make up for theft.
Close...but I would NEVER block Frankfooter like so many on this board have done.
The entertainment value is just too high! Where else can you get Marxists falling on their face and exposing their own hypocrisy so often in public for everyone to see? It's gold!!!
A reliable source in my neighbourhood told me that an acquaintance of his was arrested while walking on the sidewalk, two days after that guy had stolen from the LCBO on Parliament Street.
And still DoFo plans on giving away $2.5 billion in annual Ontario money.
I was at an LCBO store about a year ago and arrived just after someone looted a bunch of bottles with a gym bag...there was broken glass at the entrance and people cleaning it up. I asked what had happened and they told be about it.
So I asked what they do in those situations when someone is stealing and they said "nothing".
Their procedure is to report it to police and to head office. They are not allowed to engage. Police only show up later to review security info/video, etc. Police will only show up immediately unless someone is in danger.
Chatting with one of the clerks they say it happens often. Some are discreet and only grab a small bottle and shove it under their jacket, but some are also more extreme and literally walk in with a big duffle bag and start going up/down the isles loading it up.
Repeat offenders are typically already known to police and are usually arrested for other incidents as well.
I don't expect retail employees to engage thieves. But that's our tax dollars walking out of the store. They should put it all behind the counter at the very least and not display it openly where it can be grabbed so easily.

Another attempt at deflecting.
I'm asking YOU, Geno, why in a post that was 100% filled with things that Ford has done to hurt Ontario healthcare, and nothing else, you felt the need to include the fact that the replacement nurses will be Filipino. There can be no other interpretation, Geno, than hiring Filipino nurses is one more thing that Ford is doing to harm our healthcare.
I've asked several times why you included it. Nobody is questioning that Filipino nurses will be hired, which is all you keep telling us. The question is, why did you include that with the other bad things that Ford has done.
If you can give a direct answer, Geno, then you can start asking me questions.
LCBO has backtracked on opening 35 or so store with limited days and hours, sales will be online for delivery only.
Isn't it great when unions hold the public hostage?
We already pay for the stores and the products, but are now restricted.
We already pay for education, but are held hostage by teachers unions when they want more money and strike.
We already pay for public transit but are held hostage when the TTC wants more money.
Etc, etc.
Time to scrap public sector unions.
Why are you answering a question with a question? You claim to always give direct answers
Time To scrap public sector unions?....you sound just as looney as you claim Frankfooter to be.....for any Govt , be they right wing or left wing or centrist that would be political suicide for them....never mind Constitution challenges throughout the Court System
One could argue that Major Corporations , Big Pharma, Big Tech, Big Oil hold us hostage...partly because of greed, partly because of a lack of competition and partly Global pressures...but ony furried eyed Socialists would advocate that Govt take over the means of production and distribution of Goods and Services..........but carry on with other absurdities
Ontario is accelerating it's Timeline and is bringing Ready-to-Drink Beverages to Licensed Supermarkets this week:
Ontario grocery stores able to sell RTD beverages, beer this week (citynews.ca)
OPSEU, predictably, is pissed off about this.
Meanwhile there is a Distillery near where I live in Oakville where one can buy Gin, Rum, or Vodka directly.
Clearly Ford is trying to break the Union here.

Why would it be suicide for a political party to scrap public unions? Could it be that they've become too powerful to the point of swaying political influence and is that the way it should be? I'm not saying there are not laws in place right now. I'm talking about the concept.
Major corporations? You can choose to use them or not and buy their products or not right? Why do you think there is no competition between major corporations?
One thing I will say in particular about this strike with OPSEU; I really don't think OPSEU should be drawing a line in the sand about Ready-to-Drink beverages and where they should be sold. That is a matter of public policy. If OPSEU wants to negotiate on wages, benefits, and converting casual workers to full-time, that is onside.
Yup, LCBO union is playing right into Ford's hand because now they're giving him a reason to privatize liquor sales in convenience stores
DoFo chose to put the LCBO on strike to justify handing over the $2.5 billion it sends Ontario to his buddies.
Blame DoFo, this is the first strike in LCBO history.
He's prepping to kill the LCBO as his donors have been eying that easy $2.5 billion the LCBO sends Ontario each year.
Attacking the union is just bonus for the anti worker, Ford.
Its all about the profit he can give to the people who paid for his new cottage.
