Hey dealers in Joliet, it's no different here. We are
not paid for a medical LOA unless we carry disability insurance on
ourselves, which the company then tries to screw you on. The Rio
(Harrah's) came out with new insurance this year and tried to pass
off disability pay as 60% of base salary only-no tips (below the
poverty level).
They are
reevaluating this after every dealer with disability that's been
paying into it called them to complain. It's the same with our
life insurance. Base salary only. I have never understood this
because we pay the extra premium if we want to carry more
insurance.
The problem is that there are a lot of scared people.
They are scared that the
casino will fire them or give them a hard time for being
pro-union. One of the casinos even had their floor people going
around asking dealers if they were pro or con union.
Just a
little illegal but they don't seem to care because they wield all
the power. Our 2nd and 3rd elections are today and I am praying
that these dealers vote for us and not the companies they work
for. Wish us luck!
