# Caesars Windsor Casino Employee Agrees To Contract

Over the weekend, Unipolar 444 said it had ratified a tentative agreement with Caesars Windsor Casino and employees ready to go on strike. [파친코](https://www.reelgame.site/) Discussions between the union and casino management began in February this year, and now the union can negotiate new and improved collective agreements for its members.

Official negotiations between the two sides began on February 18, 2022, with a majority of workers voting in favor of pressure tactics such as strikes at recent online meetings. Fortunately, for OLG and Caesars Entertainment, which operate Windsor properties, such a move could be avoided as employees agree to the terms of the offer.

Unipo Local 444 present Dave Cashdy announced that employees at Caesars Windsor Casino agreed to terms proposed by casino management. According to him, 93% of employees voted overwhelmingly for the proposed contract, the highest consent rate in the history of gaming real estate.

The proposed conditions will grant wage increases to union members over the next three years. In the first year, union members' wages will increase by CA$0.50, in the second year by CA$0.75 and in the third year by CA$0.50. In addition, new employees will receive a CA$1600 contract bonus for full-time employees, part-time workers will receive CA$1200, and temporary workers will enjoy CA$675.

Mr Cashdi also explained that the new contract bonus applies to laid-off workers. For example, if a worker is laid off as a full-time employee, he or she should also receive a corresponding bonus. About 600 employees in the Windsor area remain laid off despite recent improvements in health restrictions, according to union data.

The union leader hopes that as borders reopen, casinos will perform at unprecedented levels, bringing more employees back to work. He also added that there would be a 1% pension increase and that the union did not accept any concessions during the negotiations. The new agreement will replace the current one, which expires on April 2, 2022.

Ahead of last week's agreement between the two sides, Mr. Cashdi said he hoped the state and federal governments would provide more support to workers who no longer have employment insurance. As he said, the unprecedented situation has damaged employees as well as the closure and resumption of casino facilities.

Caesars Windsor Casino reopened at the end of January this year, but there may be worse news for gaming amenity. According to a study by HLT Advisory, the introduction of Ontario's iGaming market will have a significant impact on the land industry. The study predicts that around 100 of Windsor Real Estate's 500 gaming-related jobs will eventually disappear.
