Union members from Detroit’s casinos flooded into state lawmakers’ offices on Tuesday as they continue their fight for increased wages and improved working conditions.
Many of the workers who met with lawmakers have been working in the gaming industry for decades.
“I’ve been there 18 years, and it used to be a good job when I started. But now, because of the rising cost of the cost of living and inflation, it’s just not making ends meet,” Terri Smith said.
Smith says that as a games dealer at Hollywood Casino in Greektown, she sees firsthand how much money the casinos bring in.
