Unionized workers at Caesars Windsor have ratified a new three-year collective agreement, which union officials are calling the “most lucrative contract” in the casino’s history.
The deal, reached following weeks of negotiations between Caesars Windsor and Unifor Local 444, was approved by a sweeping 83.3 per cent of membership Tuesday night.
“Caesars is always tough to bargain with,” Unifor Local 444 President James Stewart told the Star Wednesday morning.
“It’s a service industry. Our members working in this city are so close to auto — their expectations are high. They’ve seen what some of our manufacturing units have bargained, and what their gains have been.”
