However, union members from MGM Grand Casino rejected the deal and will continue picketing.Īccording to the Detroit Casino Council - which represents 3,700 dealers, housekeepers, food and beverage employees, valets, engineers, and more at the city’s three casinos - union members from MGM Grand will continue bargain negotiations until an agreement has been reached. Some 2,100 workers from Hollywood Casino at Greektown and MotorCity Casino will be returning to work after voting in favor of ratifying a new five-year contract agreement on Sunday, November 19, following 34 days of striking for increased wages and improved benefits.
