Subject: Woodbine Strike Settlement--185 new members


Greetings all,

I am pleased to advise that we have just reached a tentative agreement on behalf of our 185 Bartenders and Server members at Woodbine, Mohawk and Greenwood race track. The picket lines will come down immediately and the membership meeting will be held on Sun morning.

The committee is unanimously recommending the agreement along with Staff rep Brian Stevens.

Everyone will be back to work by Thurs. if the agreement is ratified.

I want to thank everyone who attended the picket lines . Our new members were simply overwhelmed by all of the support. This group were members of the Hotel Hospitality and Casino workers Union before joining CAW and this was there first strike.
Details to follow.

Best wishes,
Hemi
