Casino Windsor closed for 3rd day as strike continues
| 05 April 2004 |
As reported by: The State
Casino Windsor management shut down operations at Friday night ahead of a threatened strike by 3,600 members of Canadian Auto Workers Local 444. Workers hit the picket lines starting Saturday morning.
Casino Windsor lawyer George King said management would not resume negotiations unless it knew the union would make concessions.
"Just because there are a lot demands on the table doesn't mean that we have to sit there and continue to give and give and give things that we don't think we need to give, and we don't want to give and we shouldn't give," King said.
Negotiations broke off March 28.
Union spokesman Bruce Browning said the casino's offer of 88-cent raises over three years was a slap in the face.
"We're here everyday, we put a hard day's work in, we expect to get the respect that we deserve, and they're asking for concessions," Browning said.
Meanwhile, business was booming at the MGM Grand Detroit Casino.
"Everyone's lining up at the tables, and you can't even get in," Joel Leib, of West Bloomfield, told The Detroit News for a story Sunday.
MGM Grand and the Greektown Casino said they were making special offers to regular Casino Windsor customers. Detroit's MotorCity Casino declined to say whether it was making such an offer.
