After 2,300 workers hit the picket lines outside Caesars Windsor early Friday morning, arriving customers and hotel guests were forced to make other plans.
Kevin Laforet, regional president of Caesars Entertainment, said in a statement he felt the agreement was fair and sustainable, and is “disappointed with the outcome of the vote.”
Twitter user Shannon Blace said in a tweet she was “kicked out with nowhere to go” after arriving at the casino hotel.

She added her thoughts on “how awful” it was for “people who took time off, knew nothing about the labour dispute, paid for trains and event tickets only to be kicked out onto the streets.”

A press release from the casino revealed customers with affected reservations will be notified via email or phone. Hotel guests were made to check out by 11 a.m. Friday. Twitter user Allen Pennington said he was disappointed because “this was to be [his] time to be away from everything.”

Nevertheless, Pennington said he “[feels] for the workers.”

All hotel reservations booked between April 6 and 12 have been cancelled.
