Unifor Local 1090 had set a strike deadline of Friday, July 22 at midnight to reach a new agreement with Great Canadian Gaming Corporation for unionized casino workers across the province, including 226 employees at the Great Blue Heron Casino on Scugog Island and another 800 workers between the Ajax Casino and Pickering Casino Resort.
Strike action has commenced at the Ajax and Pickering casinos after a new deal for unionized workers at the South Durham gambling halls was not reached by a weekend deadline.
