As the ongoing strike at four key liquor distribution warehouses continues, as part of job action by the B.C. General Employees Union, the province will be rationing liquor purchases to customers, according to a prominent industry association.

BC91裸聊视频檚 Alliance of Beverage Licensees said Friday (Aug. 19) that it has been informed by government that, as of opening hours, all government-owned BC Liquor Stores will limit the quantity of alcohol that customers91裸聊视频攊ncluding pubs, bars, restaurants, and the public91裸聊视频攎ay purchase in a single transaction.

91裸聊视频淭his is insane. The only reason BC Liquor Stores are rationing quantities is because of the BCGEU strike, which is shutting down BC91裸聊视频檚 vital liquor distribution warehouses,91裸聊视频� said Jeff Guignard, executive director of ABLE BC.

These limits will impact everyone shopping at BC Liquor Stores, including pubs, bars, and restaurants.

BC91裸聊视频檚 private liquor stores will not be implementing similar restrictions, ABLE BC said.

91裸聊视频淲e will continue to serve our customers to the best of our ability, while supplies last,91裸聊视频� said Guignard. 91裸聊视频淭his needs to stop before it gets worse. We urge both sides to get back to the negotiation table immediately before this strike does further damage to B.C.91裸聊视频檚 economy.91裸聊视频�

More to come.
