The Detroit Casino Council reached a compromise for a new deal with MGM Resorts and Penn Entertainment. However, the unions will continue their strikes that have been ongoing for over a month. They will stop the strikes after the ratification of the proposed contract.
According to casino software experts, the DCC, a negotiating group for five labor unions, has never been on strike.
DCC's new agreement offers the highest-ever pay rise to casino workers, including an 18% salary increase, no rise in healthcare expenses, workload reduction, employment safeguards, technological contract language, and better retirement benefits.
Unions such as the United Auto Workers (UAW), Unite Here Local 24, and Teamsters Local 1038 negotiated contracts for their members with these businesses. After agreeing to a three-year contract renewal in 2020, the negotiating committee pushed for and received yearly rises of 3 percent to keep pay up with inflation. According to sportsbook software reports, a DCC announcement claims that inflation in Detroit has increased by 20% since then.
