A tentative agreement between unionized workers and Detroit’s casinos has been reached | Eater Detroit
"I saw picket lines outside Hollywood Casino at Greektown as valets, dealers, housekeepers, food and beverage staff, and engineers joined a month-long strike demanding better pay and protections; valet cashier Tavera McCree of Teamsters Local 1038 described the moment as defining for workers and said the gains will change the lives of families living paycheck to paycheck. The tentative five-year contract under review would, if ratified, provide an immediate average 18% raise, no employee health-care cost increases, workload reductions, job-security and technology protections, retirement increases, and other improvements, and John Drake, vice president and general manager of Hollywood Casino at Greektown, called the agreement mutually beneficial and said he was eager to welcome back team members." - Serena Maria Daniels
