KAMLOOPS — Mediation has been cut short between BCGEU and Gateway Casinos. 

According to BCGEU Executive Vice President Doug Kinna, the employer is unwilling to offer wages that meet industry standards. 

“They said they were where they wanted to be,” Kinna said. “We moved a bit, but they didn’t move so we couldn’t go any further. They say they want the strike to end, but they keep coming to the table with well below industry standard proposals, and that’s just not acceptable.”
