Local 372 Approves Contract With Greektown Casino
DETROIT (WWJ) - One down ... and two to go ... in the votes to ratify the final contract offers for Detroit's three casinos.
WWJ Newsradio 950's Gary Lundy spoke with Teamsters representative Shawn Ellis about Monday's vote.
"Certainly it was a tough set of negotiations with the current economic climate here in Detroit ... but the barginning teams worked hard on it, and the membership at Greektown Casino clearly saw the benefit and voted by a 3-1 margin for the agreement," said Ellis.
The vote for the Greektown Casino contract was approved by 74% of the votes.
Union members vote Tuesday on the Motor City Casino offer and then on Thursday, members will vote on the MGM-Grand Casino offer.
Ellis says "each property stands on its own merit."
Local 372 represents warehouse workers, phone operators, valet, and grounds crews.
