Detroit Casino Council Reaches Tentative Agreement with Greektown Casino
Tuesday, November 13, 2007, DETROIT - The Detroit Casino Council and Greektown Casino yesterday reached a tentative agreement on a new contract.
“The bargaining committee has delivered a contract that will benefit Greektown workers, the casino and the community," said UAW Vice President Jimmy Settles, who directs servicing operations for the union’s Technical, Office and Professionals Department. "This agreement recognizes the value and contributions of these hard-working service workers and gives them a solid contract as the casino prepares to expand.”
Details of the agreement will be provided to members of the DCC for their approval. Voting will be conducted Thursday. The DCC is composed of the UAW, UNITE-HERE, Teamsters, Operating Engineers and Carpenters unions, and represents about 1,500 workers at Greektown.
