Labor negotiations between the Union Negotiating Committee and Elbow River Casino in Calgary have hit a slow start and are now facing further delays. The Union met with the Company on March 4-6, 2024, but the Company was not prepared for negotiations. As a result, the Union is still waiting for 15 separate responses from the Company. Frustrated with the lack of progress, the Union has filed an Unfair Labour Practice Complaint against the Company Committee for bargaining in bad faith. One of the key points of contention is the Company's position that the Union cannot file grievances against a violation of someone's Human Rights. The next round of negotiations is scheduled for April 8-10, 2024 [b45f5090].
