NB Liquor's Plans Are A Buzzkill: Union

7/30/2012

A union head says NB Liquor plan's to open more agency stores is a buzzkill.

Daniel Legere says the plan will water down services at the corporate stores.

Legere says opening 15 more locations is too much.

He asks, ``why do we see so many?``

Legere says when he drives up to Bathurst from the Tracadie Sheila area, it seems be can buy liquor every few kilometres.

He adds there should be an expansion in the hours of operation for the Corporate run stores - recently cut by 2 hours a day.
