Around 600 Caesars Windsor employees are expected to be called back to work when the casino reopens.
The provincial government announced on Friday that casinos would be allowed to open at 50 per cent capacity when the province enters Step 3 of the provincial Reopening Roadmap on July 16, 2021.
“This is a little disappointing that we can’t, based on our numbers in Windsor-Essex County, reopen at capacity,” said Unifor Local 444 President Dave Cassidy. “But this is a step forward that we can at least get patrons in there and get our workers back to work.”
Over 2,200 people have been laid off from Caesars Windsor since it closed last March due to the global pandemic.
