This page will be dedicated to dispelling the rumors management will surely
try to spread throughout the casino; their favorite tools to accomplish this
will be our very own floormen and pit managers.
The
Union Busting has already begun at the Mirage.
First Rumor (provided courtesy of mirage management) is that Steve Wynn has
stopped contributing to the dealers 401(k). Not only is this not true but it
was also used during the Caesars organizing drive.
As
much as we are sure Mr. Wynn would love to not make the contributions
to the dealers 401(k)s, he was contributing prior to their vote for union so
he must continue until they vote on a contract.
This can take years. There is no time limit on negotiations. Dealers, this
is Federal Law. Nothing you already have can be taken away during
negotiations.
The
ONLY reason we would consider negotiating our 401(K) is because we would be
choosing another retirement plan, such as a pension. But because Local 721
is a new Local (keep in mind the TWU International does NOT dictate how we
run our Local and what we negotiate in or out of our contracts) we will not
have a large enough membership at this time to make a pension feasible
anyway. So, we WOULDN'T negotiate away our 401(k). And if the day comes when
the Union Members are considering a pension, ALL the money you currently
have in your 401(k) REMAINS YOUR MONEY, you DO NOT lose it or ever have to
give back the company match if you are fully vested.
