Monday night, workers will be leaving their jobs at MGM Grand Detroit, Hollywood at Greek Town and Motor City Casino. The Detroit Casino Council represents Thompson and 3,700 other casino workers across five unions in the three casinos. “During the pandemic, my son was in the NICU for 203 days so for them to try and take away my healthcare or even make me pay even more into my healthcare is unbelievable,” Thompson said. She says maintaining healthcare is the number one thing she is fighting for when it comes to negotiations with the casinos. Thompson has worked as a valet cashier at Motor City Casino for 14 years. “No one wants to be on strike but that’s what we have to do to get what we are worth,” said Shataya Thompson. The only thing that could stop this from happening is if the workers strike a deal with the casinos by late Monday night.

The Detroit Casino Council has authorized a strike to begin then.
