From the Post Gazette.

The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board’s unionized clerks have declared “war” on Gov. Tom Corbett’s plan to dismantle Pennsylvania’s government-operated wine and spirits sales operation.

On Monday, PLCB employees met at four hotels in Western Pennsylvania to discuss their game plan going forward and to vote on a temporary dues increase.

On its Facebook page, the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 23 asked employees to “spend your Martin Luther King Jr. holiday saving your job. … This is no time to ’sit back and see what happens’ — this is WAR!” At the meetings, leaders asked members to “fight the threat” of privatization.
