Just months off of a bitter dispute with Management and Laborers Local Union 711 – LIUNA, Twin River Card Dealers have filed paperwork with the National Labor Relations Board to formally sever ties with the embattled Labor Union.
Allegations of improper pension fund accounting … cancelled health benefits … alleged discrepancies in pension payments that in some cases have spanned decades … poor working conditions … and COVID era worker safety issues have been a constant source of friction between front line casino dealers, the Union, & Twin River Management. A new contract, with a minimal, sub inflationary hourly increase, (see below) has done little to assuage a persistent air of anger & cynicism. (Dealers rely on tips – Under a new contract their hourly wage will “rise” to 6.90$/Hours)
Union Decertification Deadlines
Under Federal Law, LIUNA must post a “Notice of Petition for Election” by April 22, 2021. A “Statement of Position” must be filed by both the Union & Twin River Management by April 27, 2021.
The Coalition has reached out to Twin River Management & Governor Dan McKee’s office for comment. Updates will be posted here as they occur. See documentation below, as well as previous interviews.
