An agreement has been reached again.

According to the LCBO, both parties in the labor dispute signed a return-to-work protocol on Saturday.

If this new deal holds, the strike will end at 00:01 on Monday and stores will reopen on Tuesday.

On Friday, the LCBO accused the union of introducing new monetary demands after the tentative deal was struck. The company now says the return-to-work protocol does not contain “any new monetary items.”

The union accused the LCBO of refusing to agree to the return to work protocol.

Return to work protocols can cover a number of issues, including how employees are paid for work that needs to be made up.

According to the company, employees will receive a 3 percent pay increase in the first year of the deal, followed by a 2.75 percent increase the following year, followed by another 2.25 percent the year after that.

“We look forward to welcoming our 10,000 union members back to work on Monday and reopening our stores to shoppers on Tuesday,” LCBO representatives said.

“This preliminary deal protects good jobs in every community and the public revenue generated by the LCBO,” said Colleen MacLeod, chair of the OPSEU negotiating team. “The workers made it clear to Ontarians that Doug Ford’s alcohol everywhere plan was a direct threat to jobs and public revenue. While this round of negotiations won’t be over until the deal is ratified, I’m incredibly proud of the workers and the stand they took.”
