The BC General Employees’ Union launched picket lines at liquor distribution centres on Aug. 15, and imposed an overtime ban on Aug. 22. The union and PSA announced on Aug. 23 the two parties would be returning to the bargaining table. On Tuesday, the union announced the overtime ban would come to an end effective immediately, and that there are preparations underway to “stand down” the picket lines. The media blackout will continue. Previously, Ian Tostenson, president and CEO of the BC Restaurant and Food Services Association, told CHEK News that every week that the liquor distribution centres were closed will take two weeks to recover. “It’s gonna take at least a month if not longer now, just to resupply the system,” Tostenson said on Aug. 24. “It’s not like we’re gonna get product tomorrow, able to solve today, we’re going to be in chaos. And this has thrown a wrench into us for weeks ahead.” The strike had an impact on liquor stores, and cannabis stores, as they are required to get their stock from the B.C. liquor distribution centres, so many places started to see bare shelves with no new stock coming in. Some Island cannabis stores even made the choice to shut their doors as they did not have stock to sell.
