Casino workers in Detroit are on strike to demand higher wages, increased benefits, and job security after years of making concessions during the pandemic | Eater Detroit
"I heard that Motor City Casino opened a temporary location in 1999 and was among the first casinos to create thousands of union-protected jobs; employees like Ulysses Bryant—who started there in 2009 as a barback and bartender—say wages haven’t kept pace with inflation and now require him to work 60–70 hours a week. Bryant told me he contracted COVID on the job three times, received no pay while quarantined, had to work overtime to make up lost time, and has been left financially strained by the lack of compensation and staffing shortages." - Serena Maria Daniels
