A strike at Casino Regina moved to Swift Current on Tuesday afternoon.

Members of the Public Service Alliance of Canada, the union that represents 425 workers at the government-owned casino, staged a picket in front of Premier Brad Wall's office downtown.

The workers have been without a contract since September of last year, and have been on strike since June 3, cutting services and hours at the casino in the process.

Negotiations have been ongoing since September, and the government presented an offer to the striking workers a few weeks ago, which was quickly rejected.

 

PSAC members have been staging pickets outside of Regina as a show of solidarity.  In addition to Tuesday's rally in Swift Current, they picketed outside the office of Ken Cheveldayoff, the Minister Responsible for Casino Regina, in Saskatoon on Monday.
