UNITE HERE (UNITE (formerly the Union of Needletrades, Textiles and Industrial Employees) and HERE (Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees International Union) merged on July 8, 2004 forming UNITE HERE.) are at Grand Casino Biloxi.
Management has signed a neutrality agreement with the union. Basically, we don't strike for the union, and there is no reprisal from management if we join. They dont want to know. They can't discuss it.
So far it looks good. The people are out. I'm helping to organize gatherings to get our people informed. I'm excited really.
For the time I've been there conditions have worsened. Management increases our work load, our insurance cost, decreases labor, continually talks down to us, cuts all incentives, and now people have woken up.
The vote will be in a month maybe two. Which will be before Herrah's takes over Caesar's Entertainment.
I'll keep this updatd more if anyone cares about it.

i didn't know that. huh.
wish i had a union. i get paid twenty dollars a shift, no matter if it's an 8 hour shift or a 16 hour shift. which i'm pretty sure is illegal as hell. sure, i make most of my money in tips, which i don't report to the irs, which is also illegal as hell. or would be, if i bothered to file taxes. and i obviously can afford to keep a roof over my head and a membership to an online porn site, so maybe i shouldn't be bitching.
heh.
thanks for the kind words, love. you and Uncognitive are my two oldest buddies on this site. and two of my most favorite, for sure.
