Some forward movement in the ongoing strike at Caesars Windsor.
A mediator is set to meet with the union and management on Wednesday, according to Unifor local 444 president Dave Cassidy. But Cassidy says these are not negotiations.
Cassidy tells CTV Windsor the hope is that the mediator is able to bring the parties back to the negotiating table, although no new talks are currently scheduled.
"I have no interest in a fourth year, i mean the message was pretty clear, so we're going to go back and hammer it out and see where we get from there," Cassidy says about the most recent contract offer that employees rejected.
"We know what every single issue is but now we're at the point we have to bring home the economic package, as to what that economic package looks like, you've heard a lot of people talking about outsourcing and we have some solid language around outsourcing," Cassidy tells CTV Windsor.
About 2,100 workers have been on strike since April 6 and they’ve since voted down two separate tentative contracts with the casino.
Caesars Windsor has cancelled all hotel reservations and postponed shows through June 16.
