... but I think the LCB is trying to save jobs.

A lot of people will lose their jobs if/when the State Stores close down.
The union has been fighting this tooth & nail, and it's been a slow erosion over the years.
We all know it's eventually going to happen though, don't we?

I'm hoping that enough new jobs will be created in the private retail sector (retail liquor/wine stores) so that the State Store employees will find new jobs. But there's no guarantee of that, and the union is worried.
