Valet services and the casino's restaurants may not be available, but dining vouchers can be redeemed at nearby eateries, including Dunkin Donuts and Detroit Taco, it added. Hollywood Casino's self-parking garages and self-serve beverage stations are open, along with slot machines and table games, although 'certain services may be limited,' the gambling venue stated on its website. In a statement, Hollywood Casino at Greektown expressed disappointment that what it called its 'generous, progressive settlement offers' had been rejected, but said it would continue talks to resolve the labor dispute 'as soon as possible,' according to CBS News Detroit. But Since 2020, Detroit casino workers have received only 3% raises, while local inflation has risen 20%, the group said. The contract had been set to lapse 12 hours earlier, but was extended by half a day as talks continued.Ĭasino workers had been working under a three-year extension to a five-year contract from 2015, and in 2020 accepted small pay increases due to the pandemic's impact on business, according to the Detroit Casino Council, which represents workers from five unions. The push for better wages by dealers, valets, housekeepers, and food and beverage workers came after negotiators for the three casinos and unions representing 3,700 workers failed to reach agreement by a noon deadline.

Thousands of casino workers in Detroit walked off the job Tuesday, calling their first strike since the MGM Grand, MotorCity Casino Hotel and Hollywood Casino at Greektown opened their doors in the city about a quarter of a century ago.
