'Still, workers and management remain far apart on wages, healthcare, retirement security, technology language, a fair workload for housekeepers, and more.' 'The DCC has spent more than 160 hours in full-table negotiations and has held dozens of subcommittee meetings by department since the summer with a goal of reaching a deal,' read a release from the DCC Monday. They are UNITE HERE Local 24, United Auto Workers, Teamsters Local 1038, Operating Engineers Local 324, and the Michigan Regional Council of Carpenters. The workers are represented by five unions under the Detroit Casino Council (DCC). The walkout came after the previous contract expired at midnight Monday. Over 3,700 workers at Hollywood Casino at Greektown, Motor City Casino, and MGM Grand Detroit walked off the job as of noon Tuesday, according to WXYZ-TV. The Detroit area is now involved in another major strike.
