PICKERING, Ont. — The union representing striking workers at two Ontario casinos says a tentative deal has been reached with Great Canadian Gaming Corporation.
Unifor says the Ajax and Pickering casino workers will vote on the tentative agreement Friday.
The casino workers have been on strike since July 23 as the union pushed for wage increases and for the company to reduce its reliance on part-time staff.
