Unifor’s gaming sector members gathered for the first Gaming Summit on June 29 and 30. More than 60 participants attended the Summit, taking part in discussions on bargaining and organizing successes in the sector.
Unifor represents upwards of 8,700 members who work in gaming facilities and casinos across the country.
“There is a big potential for good jobs in gaming, but the sector is in need of a plan that works for workers,” said Katha Fortier, Unifor Ontario Region Director.
The Summit took place in Niagara Falls, where an organizing campaign is in early stages at the town’s two major casinos. Community leaders brought greetings to the summit and stressed the importance of the gaming sector as a potential for good jobs across the province.
Local politicians, MP Malcom Allen, MPP Wayne Gates, MPP Cindy Forster, Mayor Wayne Redekop and Councilor Joyce Marocco were all present.
