Hotel reservations booked through June 16th remain cancelled
Caesars Windsor has rescheduled some shows previously postponed due to the ongoing labour dispute.
Some of the shows taking place as of September include Johnny Reid, Blink 182, Buddy Guy and Brian Wilson.
Unifor Local 444 President Dave Cassidy says he's glad Caesars re-scheduled the shows.
"There is a lot of people that wanted to see these big acts and that's good they are looking out for their customers," says Cassidy.
He adds he's not surprised Caesars re-scheduled the shows dispute the ongoing strike.
"I'm sure these acts perform all over the world and there's some pretty big acts so I'm sure they have some timing issues with the tours that go on so there's no surprise," says Cassidy. "I'm actually glad that it's happening and it just didn't fall off the table and these shows were just cancelled."
There are still several performances with dates to be determined including, David Foster, Lee Brice, Russell Peters and Pitbull.
All future Colosseum shows will remain scheduled on their original date until further notice.
Hotel reservations booked through June 16th remain cancelled.
This is day 54 of the ongoing strike.
On Wednesday, a provincial mediator will be in town to meet with both parties for exploratory discussions.
