The Detroit Casino Council argues casino workers agreed to a three-year contract during the pressure-packed earlier days of the Covid-19 pandemic.
'Regarding the status of our negotiations, we've made six proposals to the union and our current offer includes the single largest pay increase in the history of MGM Grand Detroit. Matt Buckley, president and COO of MGM's Midwest Group, sent a letter to employees of MGM Grand Detroit that made clear the company also intends to keep the property open and running. The Hollywood Casino at Greektown said in a statement to CNBC, 'We are disappointed by the decision of the Detroit Casino Council as we have made generous, progressive settlement offers that position our team members and business for sustainable success.' The management says it will remain open for business. MotorCity Casino updated its website showing that high-limit table games and poker rooms as well as casino valet were closed, in addition to its spa and some restaurants and bars.įanDuel, which operates the FD Sportsbook in conjunction with MotorCity, told CNBC it will be closed with the exception of a non-union MCC employee managing the cash at the counter for patrons needing to cash in tickets, which keeps with Michigan regulatory requirements.
