Detroit’s casinos remain open, despite 3,700 casino workers going on strike on Tuesday. Some casinos have already closed their valet service to cope with fewer employees and said patrons should expect disruptions in their restaurants as well.
“It’s been tiring, intense, but I’m ready for the fight,” said Terri Smith, a striking worker from the Hollywood Casino at Greektown.
Smith has been a dealer at the casino for 18 years. She is also on the union’s contract committee and is at the table during negotiations.
She said the casinos can’t bring in workers from other states to fill their positions.
