Detroit casino workers could be set to strike as soon at 11:59 p.m. ET on Monday night and health care is a core demand.
While certainly better wages are at the forefront of contract negotiations, many of the union members are looking to secure their health care and get improvements in work demands.
At a press conference on Thursday attended by PlayMichigan, they told their personal stories of what they have dealt with in recent years and why they are willing to strike to get their way.
The biggest message given by the union workers was the importance of their health care.
The Detroit Casino Council says the three Detroit casinos – MGM Grand Detroit, MotorCity Casino and Hollywood Casino at Greektown – are asking for employees to provide a larger amount for health care coverage.
