Manitoba Casino workers threaten strike action over meagre wages

Workers in unionized casinos in Winnipeg are preparing for possible walkouts in the event that contract talks with Manitoba Casino don't result in a mutually agreeable agreement by December 23. This trend is consistent with growing worker dissatisfaction among North American casino workers, who seek better protection from growing living expenses.

The seriousness of the employee dissatisfaction at the casino and the need for the employer to initiate positive and productive negotiations are underscored by the imminent threat of strike action.
 
As someone who enjoys visiting casinos, I think we should support the workers who make the experience enjoyable for customers. Hospitality jobs face stress and long hours on feet. If wages don't cover higher living costs, employee retention will be a problem too. I'm sure with open communication, the two parties can reach a mutually agreeable deal soon.
