Detroit Casino Workers Strike for First Time Since 1990s Opening Over Wages and Benefits

Thousands of Detroit casino workers went on strike Tuesday after contract negotiations failed.

This is the first strike at the 3 Detroit casinos since they opened in the 1990s.

The unions are seeking better wages and benefits for 3,700 workers.

At least 1 casino plans to stay open during the strike by hiring replacements.

The strike comes amid other large strikes in Michigan by UAW workers and Blue Cross employees.
