The first Detroit casino worker’s strike is now in the rearview mirror. But what financial damage did the strike cause the casinos? PlayMichigan dove into the numbers.
Starting on Oct. 17 and officially ending in its entirety on Dec. 2, it lasted 47 days.
With the November Detroit casino revenue reported being released this week, it now gives us a full picture of the numbers.
On Oct. 17, a total of 3,700 union workers from MGM Grand Detroit, MotorCity Casino and Hollywood Casino at Greektown went on strike. These union workers made up a lot of different classifications of jobs, but a good amount were involved in the slot and table games inside the retail casinos.
