Casino union vote count delayed
From the Niagara Falls Review:
Casino workers in Niagara Falls won’t know until at least Wednesday whether the Canadian Auto Workers was successful in getting certified as the union representing 2,900 Fallsview Casino and Casino Niagara workers, says CAW organizer John Aman.
It has been two weeks since most frontline casino employees voted after the CAW applied for certification as their bargaining agent.
“We will have a much better idea after the 12th where this thing is headed,” Aman said Thursday.
May 12 is when the Ontario Labour Relations Board has scheduled a meeting with the CAW and casino management to try to resolve differences they have over which workers should have been eligible to vote and who should be included in the proposed bargaining unit.

CAW applies to unionize casino workers
From the Niagara Falls Review:
The Canadian Auto Workers union is trying its luck again at Niagara’s casinos, betting the time is right to bring hundreds of workers under its umbrella.
The union filed an application Thursday to become the union representing most workers at Fallsview Casino and Casino Niagara. But management says it prefers to deal with its 4,500 employees directly, rather than through a union.
“Clearly, we have the support of the workers,” said John Aman, an organizer director with the CAW. “Based on the level of support and the issues … we felt now was a good time to proceed to a vote.”
The CAW expects between 2,800 and 2,900 casino employees will be eligible to vote, the majority of them dealers, slot attendants, in the hotel, kitchen and as wait staff.

Falls casino revenues see signs of recovery
From the Niagara Falls Review:
Niagara remained Ontario’s most popular spot for gambling in 2009 despite drops in revenue, the number of gamblers and employees at Fallsview Casino Resort and Casino Niagara, according to Ontario Lottery and Gaming figures for the last three months of the year.
“We continue to generate substantial revenue for the province,” said OLG spokesman Tony Bitonti. “There was a decrease in the resort casinos by about 4.5%, quarter over quarter.”
As 2009 drew to a close and signs of an economic recovery appeared, OLG reported $333.4 million in the September-to- December period, compared to $349.1 million in the same three-month period in 2008.
Niagara’s two casinos reported gaming revenue of $153.0 million in OLG’s third fiscal quarter.
That was down about $700,000 — or nearly .5% — from the same time in 2008.
