Opinion: Union deal not good for all Pequot card dealers
Monday, February 1, 2010

"MGM dealers take great pride in their work ethic, customer service and personal standards. With last week’s union press release, they are mad, disappointed, disillusioned and, quite possibly, soon to be broke.

MGM dealers were hired with the understanding — if not actual representations — that they were not, and would not be, union. Many were top-of-the-line Foxwoods employees who did not want to be part of a union and knew with a team of dedicated professionals they could accomplish great things.

The union, for its part, put little, if any, effort into soliciting, inviting or contacting MGM employees with regard to its efforts and, in fact, treated MGM employees as if they were a separate unit.

Then, management — in what has been suggested to be a rush to settle things to focus on issues more important, such as financial woes — decided the most cost-effective — for them — tangible items they could give the union to appease it in negotiations were MGM dealers and their accompanying tips."
