RECOMMENDATIONS Mr. Coones said employees of the LCBO have recommended a number of improvements to cus- tomer service such as longer hours, Sunday service and outlets in rural areas and in large stores. However, the government hasn't moved to adopt any of these meas- ures. In answer to a question, Mr. Johnson said _he doesn't believe the 'province has any complaint about the way the LCBO is being operated. Consideration of selling the asset is based entirely on trying to get money to pay down the mas- sive debt. Literature provided by the union states LCBO privatization would mean the laying off of 5,000 em- ployees. While Mr. Coones did not men- tion the amount employees are paid, in response to questions from the Banner following the meeting, he stated LCBO clerks are now paid $17.73 per hour. Mr. Cooney said employees have not had a pay increase in four years. He further noted employees have informed the government on many occasions they are willing to negotiate specific terms of their contract which now stipulate em- ployees working on Sundays would be paid double time. LCBO employees have also rec- ommended , Atte merger of the LCBO and the Liquor Licensing Board of Ontario, a move that would save the government mil- lions of dollars. •The privatization of alcohol re- tailing may mean the destruction of the Ontario wine industry which contributes greatly to the provin- cial economy. It would also lead to the demise of brewers retail outlets and likely mean the destruction of many of Ontario's micro - breweries. 'Prices of products would no longer be uniform across the prov- ince; outlets in Northern Ontario. would be forced to charge more because of transportation costs. =Privatization could lead to al- cohol retailing becoming con- trolled by a few big chain stores, with profits not necessarily re- maining in the province. Mr. Coones noted the Province of Al- berta recently lost a court chal- lenge to its regulation keeping big stores from selling alcohol.
