Workers are seeking concessions from Loto-Québec, which operates the casino.
Loto-Québec said that gaming tables, restaurants, slot machines, and shows are running as normal. The poker room is closed, however.
It appears the strike involves more than just poker dealers, but poker typically make less money for a casino than table games, so if there’s a staffing shortage that would be the first to close.
“The collective agreement that regulates the working conditions of 521 dealers expired on March 31, 2020, with salaries and schedules among the issues at stake,” the report added.
Loto-Québec is also reportedly looking to implement a 10-percent wage reduction for new dealers, from the current $18.40 an hour to $17.44 an hour.
”In the current context of labour shortages, (the salary reduction) is irresponsible and the union will never accept it,” the union rep said. “We are demanding better management of work shifts and rest breaks to avoid injuries.”
