Around 10,000 LCBO employees are expected to return to their jobs, with stores reopening Tuesday following an over two week strike.
The confirmation comes from both the Liquor Control Board of Ontario and OPSEU following a day of uncertainty.
On Friday, the LCBO announced a tentative agreement had been reached with the union, which, pending ratification, would end a two week strike at 12:01 a.m. on Monday, July 22.
However OPSEU then announced the strike would continue because the employer refused to sign a return-to-work protocol.
The LCBO then threatened to file an unfair labour practice complaint against the Ontario Public Service Employees Union because it introduced "significant new monetary demands" after the tentative deal was reached.
The LCBO confirms Saturday that both sides have now signed off on a return-to-work protocol that does not include any new monetary items.
“We look forward to welcoming our 10,000 unionized employees back to work on Monday and opening our stores to shoppers on Tuesday,” the LCBO added in a news release.
"This tentative deal protects good jobs in every community and the public revenues generated by the LCBO," said Colleen MacLeod, OPSEU’s chair of the bargaining team added.
"The workers have made it clear to Ontarians that Doug Ford's alcohol-everywhere plan directly threatened jobs and public revenues. While this round of bargaining isn't over until the deal is ratified, I'm incredibly proud of the workers and the stand they've taken."
LCBO stores have been closed since July 5.
