Please don’t cross our picket line #58LockedOut — Jim Sheppard (@jim_shepp) November 1, 2018 The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair brings round 300,000 guests, with 1000’s of animals. Its the world’s largest indoor agricultural occasion, and has a ton of shows, distributors, actions, and extra.  Beer festivals are enjoyable and all, however the @RoyalWinterFair is utilizing alternative employees for lighting and technical set-up as a result of the @ExPlaceTO lockout of @iatse58. That is not so enjoyable. So I feel I will be sitting this one out. — GreGORY Clow (@beerboozebites) October 31, 2018 The CNE took a little bit of successful money-wise this yr, and it blamed the incapacity to finish the lockout for the losses. Maybe the similar will occur with the Winter Fair, if the events concerned cannot come to the negotiating desk.  https://www.blogto.com/city/2018/11/toronto-boycott-royal-winter-fair/
