A tentative agreement between unionized workers and Detroit’s casinos has been reached | Eater Detroit
"During the month-long strike, I observed picket lines outside MGM Grand Detroit as part of a 3,700-worker walkout that included dealers, housekeepers, food and beverage staff, valets, and engineers; the casinos largely remained open despite some temporary closures and revenue loss. The tentative five-year deal the Detroit Casino Council will vote on would, if ratified, give workers an immediate average 18% pay raise, no increases in employee health-care costs, workload reductions, job-security and technology protections already used in other markets, retirement increases, and other gains. Matt Buckley, president and chief operating officer for MGM Resorts International’s Midwest group, said he was pleased to have reached a tentative agreement that ends the strike while giving a historic pay increase to DCC-represented employees." - Serena Maria Daniels
