“ There were tough negotiations and we were able to get to a tentative agreement because members took a principled stand for better working conditions,' Corey Dalton, President of Local 1090, said Thursday, before Friday's ratification. Lana Payne, Unifor National Secretary-Treasurer, said: “My sincere congratulations to the Local 1090 members who took on a powerful employer to fight for what was fair.' Unionized workers have now ratified a new four-year deal, bringing an end to their two-week-long strike action. Members of Unifor Local 1090 had been on strike since July 29, and tentative deals were first reached on Thursday. The strikes at Pickering Casino Resort and Casino Ajax, two Great Canadian Gaming Corporation (GCGC) properties in Ontario, are seeing their end after Unifor members ratified their new agreements on Friday.
