Future Colosseum shows remain scheduled, including Pitbull on May 25, Lee Brice on May 26 and Daniel O’Donnell on May 27.
Some 2,300 workers walked off the job April 6 after rejecting a tentative agreement by a vote of 59 per cent.
The striking workers include dealers, cooks, housekeepers and janitors. Wages and working conditions are key issues.
