A plan to gift boxes of chocolates to workers at B.C.’s government liquor stores is not going over well with their union. But the B.C.
Liquor Distribution Branch (LDB) says the situation is a misunderstanding. The LDB has posted a bid request for a supplier to produce 4,400 boxes of the treats.
Each box would contain four pieces of chocolate, including two caramels and a truffle or cream-filled chocolate and a “thank you” card.
The bid request was posted Tuesday, about two weeks after the province announced a $4-per-hour pandemic pay premium for front-line health care, social services and corrections workers.
