Better pay is the top priority in a new collective agreement for workers at Windsor, Ont.’s Caesars casino, their union says. Membership has given union leadership nearly unanimous support to go on strike if a deal is not reached by midnight on Wednesday.
“Make no mistake, the monetary gains are probably a number one priority,” said James Stewart, president of Unifor 444, which represents 1,400 members at the casino.
“Our members are doing an incredible job. The casino’s won a whole host of awards and they want to be recognized for that.”
But a deal for members isn’t the only negotiation underway.
