Wynn Dealers Unionizing
http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/...nn-Dealers.php
[ QUOTE ] 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." [/ QUOTE ] 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. |

Re: Wynn Dealers Unionizing
The difference is that before whenever Steve had Big Plans he got to impose them unilaterally.

The article states there are 633 full time dealers. Taking $10,000. from each would be $6,330,000. I don't know anything about running a big Las Vegas casino, but it seems only negative fallout can come from the casino trying to claim this money. Unless they're now going to try to replace a large portion of dealers with machines, then taking ~$6.5 million a year from the dealers and handing the majority of that to the supervisors vs. having to deal with another union makes just ponying up more money for the surpervisors a better deal for the casino. If Wynn had just paid the supervisors more, or had many more dual rate dealers/floor personnel then it seems to this outsider that he would have been much better off than he is going to be now. |

[/ QUOTE ] I agree TT Wynn is just the type to say .... "ok I don't need you people anymore and introduce the biggest electronic tabled poker room ANYWHERE" With Electronic Tables looming in the future dealers might want to rethink how aggressivly they want to pursue higher wages. |
