Union tests interest of casino employees
Court decision allows tribal workers to unionize
By Malavika Jagannathan mjaganna@greenbaypressgazette.com
A local service union will gauge interest from casino workers statewide to unionize.
"We're looking to see if there's any interest in the workers organizing at their workplace," said Beth Kirchman, a business representative with Local 662 of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters union. "If they are interested,
we'll be working with them, helping them organize."
Surprise, surprise, this should be interesting. How strong is the Oneida Tribe of Indians, how strong is the union? First you have the fight in the dem party for president now the union wants to organise in the tribal casinos. Where is Diamond Jim standing on this issue. I guess he is adding up on who gave more to his campaign! My money is on the casino's. The union is taking the Native Americans for a ride! Who is going to ride, who is going to walk?
As Artie Johnson would say "Very Interesting".
