Casino bonuses
While employees at the slots at the Fort Erie race track are fighting for their jobs, employees at Niagara’s other two casinos are being rewarded.
Workers at Casino Niagara and Fallsview Casino were told earlier this week they would be receiving bonuses next month, as they always have since the casinos opened.
This comes as more than 200 slot employees at the Fort Erie racetrack are facing layoffs.
Last month, the Liberals and OLG rejected a recommendation in the Drummond report to close one of two Niagara Falls casinos.
At the same time, the OLG announced it would permanently close slots facilities at horse racing tracks in Fort Erie, Windsor and Sarnia.
