9-Sep-07. Palace Casino workers vote to walk picket line. Edmonton Journal, B6.

Workers at Edmonton’s Palace Casino will be on strike at 9 a.m. today after 80 per cent voted to reject the latest contract offer from management. Union president Doug O’Halloran said the offer of a three per cent increase each year for three years was unacceptable to members. Casino employees were looking for yearly increases of five per cent, plus three days of sick pay for full-time employees.
