“The city’s big three casino operators are earning more than ever, and we’re prepared to stay out on strike until we get what we deserve.” “Making the decision to strike is never easy, but it’s past time for the workers who keep Detroit’s casinos running to get their fair share,” said Nia Winston, President of UNITE HERE Local 24, the union of hospitality workers in Detroit. 99% of the union voted in favor of striking if a deal was not reached. Those unions represent most of the workers at the three casinos, including dealers, cleaning staff, food and beverage workers, valets, engineers and more.

The Detroit Casino Council represents the 3,700 casino workers across five unions - UNITE HERE Local 24, United Auto Workers, Teamsters Local 1038, Operating Engineers Local 324 and the Michigan Regional Council of Carpenters. (WXYZ) - Thousands of Detroit casino workers are now on strike after the Detroit Casino Council and MGM, Hollywood Casino and MotorCity Casino could not come to an agreement.
