LCBO Strike

Big in the news is that the LCBO workers are planning to go on strike this weekend.  I suppose it might interfere with the lifestyle of some people but it seems kind of a useless effort to me.  If you need booze in the near future, buy it before the strike starts.  If you're desperate for more booze before the strike ends, then you just might have a problem you didn't realize you had.

Unions like to call strikes just before a holiday so that it will inconvenience the public as much as possible.  Somehow, I don't believe the inability to buy a bottle of liquor can affect enough people to worry us, though.  Besides, there's always beer to help alcoholics weather the storm.

LCBO workers make a heck of large salary considering the average demands of their jobs but there will never be a limit that their union will accept so they'll always want more than they get.  How else do you justify the union dues paid?

I have to admit that, without their union, the workers would probably be paid slave wages so they do serve a purpose.  Management usually can't be trusted to pay any more than necessary because they need to make sure there's enough money to cover their own enormous salaries.  It seems we're damned if we do and damned if we don't have unions.

As far as the LCBO strike goes, I don't see it lasting long because not enough people will care one way or the other.
