Detroit Casino Workers Threaten Strike Over Stalled Contract Talks

Employees at 3 Detroit casinos could go on strike Tuesday if new union deals aren't reached. The contracts expire Monday night.

The unions say the casinos' profits are up post-pandemic but workers' wages haven't kept pace. The casinos want workers to pay more for healthcare.

Nearly all unionized casino employees voted to authorize a strike. The unions represent workers from Unite Here, UAW, and Teamsters.

A strike could cost the casinos and Michigan over $4 million per day in lost tax revenue and casino profits.

The 3 casinos are MGM Grand Detroit, MotorCity Casino, and Greektown Casino. Workers could walk out at noon Tuesday after contracts expire at midnight Monday.
