Casino: Dealers Union Should Include Floor Staff30 November 2000LAS VEGAS, Nevada-- Nov. 30, 2000 -- As reported by the Las Vegas Review-Journal: "A prospective union that would represent casino table games dealers should include floor people and poker dealers, attorneys for the Monte Carlo argued Wednesday at a National Labor Relations Board hearing. "The Transport Workers Union of America, which started its organizing campaign in September, wants to include only the 314 table games dealers and 85 extra board table games dealers. "..The Monte Carlo management wants to include 62 floor people, 19 craps box people, 24 workers who alternate between dealing and floor jobs and nearly 40 poker room employees. "...The amount of contact between different employees, whether there is interchanging of jobs between employees, the type of work and compensation, including benefits, and if there is common supervision are among the criteria used to decide which employees are included, [NLRB deputy regional attorney Steve] Womser said. "...The union contends that floor people, who earn $158 per day, are not in the same class with dealers because they are paid substantially more than dealers, who start at $5.15 per hour." |
