WINNIPEG—Unifor Local 144 members will vote on a contract later this week after negotiations produced a tentative agreement today.
“Our members at Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries demonstrated to the employer they were fed up with the status quo,” said Lana Payne, Unifor National President. “Their solidarity and skilled bargaining has resulted in a contract they can be proud of.”
Unifor represents more than 750 members at McPhillips Station Casino, Club Regent Casino, and the Shark Club Casino. Members work as dealers, cashiers, slot attendants, security personnel, maintenance staff, customer service representatives and Skilled Trades workers.
“Congratulations to the bargaining committee on using the leverage provided by the members’ strike vote to achieve a fair tentative agreement,” said Gavin McGarrigle, Unifor Western Regional Director.
More details will be available after ratification.
Unifor members took a strike vote earlier this month and had been preparing to initiate job action on December 23.
Unifor is Canada’s largest union in the private sector, representing 315,000 workers in every major area of the economy. The union advocates for all working people and their rights, fights for equality and social justice in Canada and abroad, and strives to create progressive change for a better future.
