“Both my son and I have been on strike together, so for me the fight to protect our healthcare and win better wages was always about something bigger for my family and the next generation,” said Alicia Weaver, a guest room attendant for 24 years at MGM Grand Detroit and member of UNITE HERE Local 24. “We sacrificed a lot during the pandemic, but we fought for and ultimately won a contract that secures our health care and provides significantly improved wages.” 'Since welcoming my son into the world, securing my family's health care benefits was the most important thing to me,” said Gabriel Robert Hernandez, a valet at MGM Grand Detroit and member of Teamsters Local 1038. Workers will get an immediate $3 per hour raise.

Workers at MotorCity Casino and Hollywood Casino at Greektown approved the original proposal.Īccording to the DCC, the agreement includes the largest wage increases ever – an immediate 18% pay raise on average – a bonus, no health care cost increases, workload reductions and more. It comes after MGM workers voted down a tentative agreement that was reached in November. The agreement will span five years and covers 1,700 employees at the casino. The five unions of the Detroit Casino Council (DCC) – UNITE HERE Local 24, UAW Local 7777, Teamsters Local 1038, Operating Engineers Local 324, and the Michigan Regional Council of Carpenters – voted overwhelmingly to approve the proposal, according to the DCC.

Union workers at MGM Grand Detroit, the largest casino, ratified an agreement with the casino on Saturday, ending a 47-day strike.
