...a Media Advisory from an organization claiming to
represent Workers at the Fengate-owned Virgin Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, is making a “diplomatic mission’ to Toronto, for the
same day and time, [to meet] in front of the Fengate Asset Management’s headquarters and then on to the USA Consulate.
They allege that Fengate has hired “scabs and threatened permanent replacement of striking workers, in violation of international labour
standards”. They call on Employment and Social Development Canada to conduct an inquiry into what they allege to be “anti-union discrimination” and contrary to the International Labor Convention 87 (to which Canada is a signatory)”. Fengate claims to manage
assets in the amount of USD $7 billion (today’s valuation: CDN $9.8 billion). Fengate’s website suggests that Virgin Casino may have a value of $700 million USD, just under $1 Billion Canadian. Corriere attempted to reach out to Fengate via email without response as at time of going to press.
