  One of the letters posted to this board suggests that the Sahara Hotel & Casino has a policy of firing new hires days before their probation. I would like to comment to this.

  I am a casino shift manager at the Sahara, and I can tell you, I have never terminated an employee on probationary release for the purpose of saving on benefits. I have never received any direction from a casino manager or general manager to do the same.

  When Mr. Bennett bought the Sahara in 1995, every employee in the hotel was considered a new hire. All of them went through a new hiring process.

  Mr. Bennett didn't own the place two months before he reinstated everyone's seniority. Many employees had been there 30+ years, and all of them were given their four weeks vacation. This is a very expensive gift to his employees. Does this sound like a management team that is guilty of unfair labor practices?

  If an employee at the Sahara is termed under probationary release, they have some serious problems with either their attitude, or their game.

  I know some properties might do these things, but the Sahara is not one of them.
