Caesars Windsor is cancelling more shows due to an on-going strike at the casino.
The casino has announced two more shows have been postponed -- the Brian Wilson concert on May 4 and the Darcy Oake show on May 17.
Regional President Kevin Laforet said they have also cancelled all hotel reservations up to May 19, and postponed the Total Rewards promotions.
“We understand the impact these postponements and cancellations may have on our valued guests,” said Laforet in a statement. “Based on customer feedback and our continued commitment to doing what is best for our guests, it is important for us to be proactive and allow them enough time to make alternate plans.”
This is day 19 in the strike by members of Unifor Local 444 who work as dealers, housekeepers, cooks and janitors at the casino.
The 2,300 workers voted 59 per cent in favour of rejecting a tentative contract on April 5.
No new talks are planned.
Windsor West MPP Lisa Gretzky will be addressing the strike in the Ontario the legislature Tuesday.
For all April and May postponed shows, Caesars says ticketholders can hold onto their tickets to be honoured on the new show dates. Refunds must be requested for postponed shows and are to be handled through the point of purchase; however Box Office refunds will be processed once the labour disruption is resolved and Caesars Windsor reopens.
Caesars says all future Colosseum shows will remain scheduled on their original date until further notice including Pitbull (May 25), Lee Brice (May 26) and Daniel O’Donnell (May 27).
As for hotel reservations, affected guests will be contacted via email or phone as soon as possible and the reservation will be automatically cancelled.
