Dealers, read this important letter
Fellow Dealers:
Here's an important letter from a casino dealer in Detroit.
If you have any doubts about the need for union representation,
this letter may help you make up your mind.
I would appreciate any feedback you may have on this subject.

Hello there!!
Please have your members check out the newly ratified
contracts of
MGM-Detroit, and the Motor City Casino-Detroit.
Contract was ratified on Tuesday, September 17, 2000.
Included in the contract, negotiated by the UAW and the Detroit
Casino
Council, was increased wages, benefits, and a retirement package.
This is a first contract, and by all means was not perfect,
but there was a
lot of hard work and effort put forth by the Casino Council, along
with
management of both casinos.
Employees now have wage parity between both casinos, a
company matched 401K plan, better benefits, paid sick days, and
most importantly a grievance
procedure in place to protect the employees from the "at
will" policy that
was in place prior to the contract. Now employees have some
measure of
security in the workplace.
We hope that this "ground-breaking" contract will
benefit both sides, and be
a beacon to others considering a union environment in their
workplace.
Good luck to everyone with the TWU...and remember, your
union is only as
strong as it's membership...that means YOU!!
Be Proactive in your fight to maintain a stable and healthy
management - employee relationship!!
I know I speak for everyone in Detroit, who say we support
you in your
efforts!!!!!!! It worked for us, and it can work for you!!!
