The dealers voted 444-149 in favor of being represented by the Transportation Workers Union of America in an election this weekend...
"I did not realize the extent of the mistake I had made until yesterday," Wynn said, explaining his talk with a longtime employee who felt betrayed. "I was more focused on the right thing I did for the bosses, than the wrong thing I did to the dealers."

Pretty amazing. Wynn screws the dealers, runs over 'em roughshod, when a couple of them try to form a class action lawsuit against him and the case is tossed, he sues 'em for his legal costs... and now that the dealers have had enough and are ready to unionize he decides at the last minute to make nice? Very, very classy, Steve. Bravo.

No idea if poker dealers will be included in the union. I presume they won't be excluded. But they were not included in the forced toke sharing that sparked this.

Poker Dealers are not included.

I think this is at least debatable.

Even Steve is admitting now he screwed the dealers. Shouldn't that kinda end any debate?

Not after they started taking their tips for management.

One of the first negotiating points was to revisit the tip agreement. "That tip sharing, we definitely want that back in our pockets," Laux said.

its plausible that with the union the dealers could actually earn less at first due to a failure to renegotiate the tip share, walkouts, work stoppages, and other tools the union will use to help the dealers in the long run, but hurt them greatly in the short run. It seems as if the dealers joined the union with a false sense of financial security. Sure the union will help them all keep their job security, but their dues might be as great as any "raise" they would have gotten by not joining the union. Wynn could still hold his ground at the risk of a strike, there are plenty of dealers in LV would would die to work there as a scab just to get the opportunity to make as much as the Wynn dealers did even with the tip sharing structure.

In short - the war between the dealers and Steve Wynn isn't over, this was just the first major battle (which Steven obviously lost) - there will be more battles to come, and some of them might be bloody with families losing their source of income during a walkout. Not pretty.

Not really. He's just posturing now.

QFT. Steve probably has big plans, and the dealers wont like it.

Re: Wynn Dealers Unionizing
 

The difference is that before whenever Steve had Big Plans he got to impose them unilaterally.
