Penn Entertainment and MotorCity did not immediately respond to requests for comment. 'We've made six proposals to the union and our current offer includes the single largest pay increase in the history of MGM Grand Detroit,' the company said. MGM, in a statement, said it will continue to operate during the strike. The committee estimates the strike would risk a total of $3.4 million in operator revenue per day, with the greatest impact on MGM Grand Detroit at $1.7 million per day. The DCC negotiating committee is made up of five unions including Unite Here Local 24, United Auto Workers (UAW), Teamsters Local 1038, Operating Engineers Local 324, and the Michigan Regional Council of Carpenters representing 3,700 casino employees.
29, 99% of voting workers from all unionized groups at the three Detroit casinos voted to authorize the DCC to call a strike if negotiations weren't progressing.
'We took almost flat wages through the pandemic and now expect to share in the prosperity that they're experiencing.' 'They are not budging on a fair wage,' said Gwen Mills, Secretary-Treasurer of Unite Here, one of the unions involved in negotiations.
