The president of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) travelled to Windsor on the seventh day of the LCBO strike to join a rally outside the Roundhouse Centre location.
Union representatives from the Windsor District Labour Council also showed their support for the workers.
"Our labour allies have been amazing on this. I look around and I see education unions, we've got private sector unions, we've got other public sector unions, we've seen the nurses unions out," said JP Hornick. "Everyone knows how these systems are connected. Even in the private sector union their members rely on these public services, their members patronize the LCBO, they know what happens when you take good jobs out of communities."
Hornick said there are currently no plans to get back to the table.
"We're happy to go back any time the mediator says there's room for meaningful discussion on those key issues of how to grow and expand the LCBO and how to protect the jobs while doing so," said Hornick.
On Wednesday, Premier Doug Ford told the media there is a good offer on the table and the province is not backing down on its plan to sell ready-to-drink cocktails in corner stores.
Hornick said the province's plan does not consider the revenue that will be lost for public services.
"An attack on the LCBO, an expansion of privatization that doesn't allow the LCBO to expand and grow on the retail side with Ontario is a direct attack on those revenue streams that fund the things that we hold dear and we already know are fraying," said Hornick.
