New units have joined the Local 2020 family.

The ASP Security, The Volunteer Firefighters of Kirkland Lake, and Synterra Security Solutions are joining 80+ other units in our servicing family.

 WELCOME!

Security officers have been attempting to negotiate their first collective agreement with Elements Casino Flamboro since 2019 and were locked out by the employer on February 18, 2021.  The workers – supported by USW – set up a picket line outside the Flamboro casino.

Great Canadian Gaming Corporation purchased the Elements Casino in 2018. There has been no wage increase since then.  CGC are demanding concessions from the workers that include cuts to sick leave, opting to lock out the workers instead of negotiating a fair contract.

USW has filed a complaint alleging the illegal change of working conditions after the security officers joined the Union. The Ontario Labour Relations Board hearing is April 15.
