A Open Letter to UGSOA Locals From Michael Hough on Why He Resigned From UGSOA to Join the SPFPA Team.
Maritas said the plea is meant to “bring awareness to the poverty wages being paid to the workers of Rivers Casino.”
Some casino employees, such as housekeeping staff, earn $8 per hour, while security workers typically start at $9.50. The federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. Greg Carlin, CEO of the Rivers Casino, said compensation packages are commensurate with those of other employees in the industry.
What's Going on at the United Government Security Officers of America UGSOA? Why are hundreds of UGSOA Members Filing Decertification Election Petitions to get rid of UGSOA in recent weeks?
Throughout this campaign Rivers Casino held daily meetings with 2 or 3 casino security professionals at a time feeding them misleading information half-truths and out right lies about unionization while gauging worker sympathies and FEARS to pressure these casino security professionals not to vote yes for the union. In this case 38 of these Rivers Casino officers fell victim to Jackson and Lewis Union-Busting tactics.
Did Rivers Casino Security Officers vote against unionization or did they Fall Victim to Jackson & Lewis Union-Busting FEAR and Intimidation Tactics?
Rivers Casino nightshift supervisor John Kovach had demanded that the 22 plus casino security professionals working on that shift remove their SPFPA Union RESPECT pins from their jackets. When they refused their supervisor John Kovach then Physically Assaulted at least one of the officers by Physically Removing his SPFPA RESPECT Button from his jacket.
The cloture vote (which requires 60 votes) and the vote on the final legislation (which requires 50 votes)are two completely separate things, and they should be treated separately.
