MGM Grand Detroit casino workers are continuing their strike in the bitter cold after voting against the proposed deal earlier this month.
With layers of clothing, hand warmers, foot warmers, generators, fires, and tents – union members are doing anything they can to stay warm while striking in four-hour shifts.
“Trying to keep the generators full of gas and keep them running and that’s pretty much the only heat that we have out here,” said Gerald Taylor, a striking MGM worker.
However, the cold weather is taking its toll on some.
Lori Froh, another striking worker, said she has “two pairs of socks, two pairs of pants, two shirts, a sports bra, a heavy coat, a scarf, and gloves” on, yet she is still feeling the cold.
