The President of Unifor Local 444 says it’s really good news to see the deal at Caesars Windsor. James Stewart was in attendance Friday afternoon as the province announced that Caesars will continue to operate the Windsor casino for the next 20 years.

Caesars Entertainment will remain the service provider following a procurement process that began in August 2022.

Caesars has been operating the Windsor casino for 17 years and currently employs approximately 1,800 people – nearly 1,500 of those employees are unionized members through Unifor Local 444.

Stewart says there would be an impact if the operator at the casino changed… He says the employees wanted stability in the future.
