In Canada, over 1,000 Montreal casino employees have given themselves a five-day strike mandate to be used “at the opportune moment.”


The busy Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix weekend could well be the moment they choose, according to The Canadian Press.

In a press release issued on Saturday, the CSN-affiliated union representing casino employees announced its members have voted 91 per cent in favour of a five-day strike bank, noting at the outset the mandate was given “in the run-up to the Montreal Grand Prix.”

The Formula 1 race on the Gilles-Villeneuve circuit on Île Notre-Dame, where the casino is also located, is one of the most popular tourist events in Montreal during the summer season.
