Detroit casino workers have gone on strike | Eater Detroit
"Staff at this Detroit casino were part of a coordinated strike and noon picket to demand better pay, stronger healthcare and retirement protections, contractual safeguards against job impacts from new technologies, and relief from the heavier workloads created by post-pandemic staffing cuts. Union negotiators — led by UNITE HERE Local 24 with support from the UAW, Teamsters, Operating Engineers and Carpenters — say talks broke down after more than 160 hours of bargaining and point to record industry revenues alongside declining union wage totals as a core grievance. The casino’s management has said the venue will remain open, that meaningful progress has been made in talks, and that it remains committed to bargaining toward a fair contract while keeping the business competitive." - Serena Maria Daniels
