Close to 600 workers at 25 government liquor stores have now walked-off the job as the BCGEU strike continues to ramp up. The move comes only two days after the Liquor Distribution Branch’s main warehouse and head office ended up behind pickets. Most of those 25 stores are in the Lower Mainland or Victoria and are considered the most profitable of the 200 outlets around the province. The BCGEU is pointing to a Leger poll that finds 81 per cent of British Columbians believe the public sector workers deserve raises matching or exceeding the rate of inflation.
