“We share the same goals of the USW and are focused now more than ever on bringing our employees back to work across all our sites in the province of Ontario,” said Scott Phillips, SVP, Human Resources at Gateway Casinos. “We are pleased we have been able to work together to leverage the CEWS to offer our employees paid leave during this unprecedented public health crisis.
The agreement also includes a number of items to assist Gateway’s business to more quickly and efficiently return to business and to get as many Gateway employees and USW members back to work as quickly as possible. Both parties look forward to working together on preparing all of our sites to re-open as soon as the provincial government provides the necessary approvals.
