What happened
Workers at the Pickering and Ajax casinos returned to work after ratifying a new four-year collective agreement with their employer. The agreement resolves a labor dispute that began in July, involving about 900 workers from both casino locations. The new contract includes wage increases, a lump sum payment for staff, and additional days off for various leaves.
