The Manitoba Government and General Employees Union also revealed that around 200 food and beverage staff members at two casinos have agreed to ratify an eight-year contract. She noted that the workers have been left without a compact for a year and a half, but the union is proud of its members who voted in favour of the strike mandate as a leverage tactic against the employer and now getting the deserved contract. On Thursday, December 21, 2023, Unifor National representative Suzanne King commented that a new collective agreement was long overdue. They work at the three casinos as dealers, cashiers, slot attendants, security, customer service and grounds employees as well as skilled trade workers. These employees have been lacking a collective agreement since June 2022.

Previously employees voted to go out on strike if a fair deal with MLL had not been agreed upon until December 23, 2023. The union represents over 750 workers at McPhillips Station Casino, Club Regent Casino, and the Shark Club Casino.

On Thursday they voted 93% in favour of accepting the latest proposal from the employer.
