Manitoba's liquor strike maybe have an end in sight as talks are to resume between MGEU and MBLL.
The Manitoba Government Employee Union has been on strike for over a week, closing multiple stores across the province in an effort to gain fair wages for their workers.
A bargaining session is planned for Friday and MGEU President Kyle Ross is looking forward to making some headway in this situation.
"We are hopeful tomorrow's meeting will be productive and will lead to many more bargaining sessions so that we can reach an agreement that respects and values our members and gets them back to work,"
While province-wide strikes have been in full effect for just over a week and a half, limited job action and other forms of protest have been happening for nearly a month.
Workers in the Liquor and Lottery sector have been without a contract for well over a year, as their last one expired in March of 2022.
MBLL has yet to issue a statement about the resumption of negotiations but has already explored options for binding arbitration.
Kyle Ross hopes that this step forward in negotiation will lead to an agreement to end the strike in a mutual way.
