WINDSOR, Ont. — Caesars Windsor says the casino resort will reopen on Thursday now that striking workers have agreed to a new contract.

Spokeswoman Susanne Tomkins says workers approved a new contract in voting Monday in Windsor, Ont.

Unifor Local 444 says the three-year agreement was ratified by 75 per cent of members, ending the 60-day strike.

Concerts were postponed and hotel reservations cancelled after about 2,300 employees — including dealers, cooks, housekeepers and janitors — walked off the job in early April.

Issues in the labour dispute included wages and working conditions.
