These four guys should go out on strike till they get a living wage a private jet a few Bentleys in the garage
Quote: coilmanThe chief executive officers of the four biggest operators saw their combined compensation increase 50 percent last year to $99 million.

Mgm in particular is the ones ceo and executives who made it through the recission without going bankrupt. Pretty sure the deslers didn't make that happen. Plus i am sure a chunk of that was stock options which may be worthless when they cash them
Right there is the reality of the trickle down theory, and how well it enriches the working class.Quote: coilmanThe chief executive officers of the four biggest operators saw their combined compensation increase 50 percent last year to $99 million.

More evidence of the need for nation wide union membership. If these dealers don't strike or at least threaten to strike, they will get a pittance at most of the windfall casinos received from the tax cut. If you see them on the street, remember to honk and wave to show support.
If Reagan hadn't killed unions, we wouldn't have these silly talks about health insurance. People and their employers could have negotiated a fair deal, without all this government overreach.

MGM dealers are not union.

Even if true, that just means they did their job with a basic level of competence. Not sure how it follows that their employees' college funds and retirement savings should be sucked into their pockets so they can buy a 5th home.
It's sort of sad as Vegas is one of the few places where an average person can still have a nice lifestyle, but they are doing their best to destroy that. Idk why anybody would favor that. Personal anger i guess
Any AP should definitely want dealers, bartenders and so forth to have as much money as possible.

I believes it represents crowds of people scrabbling for a few extra valuable coins for full time work.

Quote:50,000 hospitality employees who are preparing to go out on strike after June 1 include: Bartenders, guest room attendants, cocktail servers, food servers, porters, bellman, cooks, and kitchen workers employed at the casino resorts on the Las Vegas Strip and Downtown Las Vegas.
I guess this means, you don't have to tip.
Quote: GlenGMGM dealers are not union.
I was told NO DEALERS in Vegas are unionized. I don’t know if that’s true or not, but I’m pretty sure it’s true or at least very close to true.
Why would immigration be part of the negotiating and new contract?

Unions were dying long before Reagan came along. They are outdated and living in the past.

I'm pretty sure you are right. Same for slots..so gaming wont be affected persay..people will have to wait for their drinks slightly longer I guess. There will be plenty of replacement workers I'm sure.
The casinos and bars get a % of that money back anyway. I would love to know how much bartenders, dealers and cocktail waitresses lose on avrage a month gambling.Quote: Rigondeaux

Isn't there a formula for that? Wage - rent - food = gambling losses * 0.8.

Which is why you want them to make as much as possible.
Really, just in general, but especially if you rely on gambling, it is good for almost everyone if many people have well paying jobs. Then they can put money into your industry.
It's bad only if you are an elite and can't stand the thought of other people having even a little money and power.
There used to be some fairly good casino employee promotions around town, I see some from time to time, but nothing like they used to. They need to show some love for the employees who gamble it up.Quote: RigondeauxWhich is why you want them to make as much as possible.

I'm willing to give them some ideas (-;
