A potential strike at the Gimli distillery that produces Crown Royal could dry up production of the popular premium whiskey.

Workers at the facility voted overwhelmingly on Tuesday to take strike action if necessary to back up contract demands.

The Gimli distillery, owned by international conglomerate Diageo, is the sole producer of Crown Royal.

Diageo is the holding company for numerous other beer and liquor brands, including Guinness, Smirnoff, J&B, Gordon's and Johnnie Walker.

Calvin Firman, president of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union local that represents 53 workers at the plant, said all but one of the 51 ballots cast were in favour of going on strike Feb. 1 if the company doesn't improve the terms of its last offer.

"Our membership has lost complete trust in this company," he said.

Talks to avoid a strike are set to resume on Monday.

      Oh, the humanity! Say it isn't so?! :crybaby:
 
If i drunk whiskey i'd be crying tears the size of english november rain drops. Luckily though, the house is filled with Carlton Draught and no beer drought will be initiated!
Good luck fellers,
 
Forget climate change, the government needs to initiate immediate action in this before society as we know it crumbles. :blotto:
 
Looks like I will have to start stocking up  ;D. 

Hopefully a 4 month supply will do  ;D
 
Don't know where they got their info. We have a Crown Royal plant here too.

Yuck, you must have had it with lemon and salt then...yuck. Straight up I tell you is the proper way!
 
Hi Librian, well back in the early '80's as an infanteer, drank it many ways, shot, bottle, lemon & salt....20+ years later, still can't stomach the stuff...stick mostly to beer and crown royal once in a blue moon...though will have a shot or two of good ol' screech whenever I go back home on vacation (can't call it leave anymore).

That and beer chasers at the Grenade and you discover how the pmq's in Pet all look the same at 3am. :blotto:
 
I was just going to tell him that George.

Rmac, that still doesn't compare with the results of a duck race and chase at the Kyrenia.
