Detroit, MI<\/strong> \u2013 UAW members who work at MGM National Harbor (Maryland) overwhelmingly ratified their first agreement on Saturday.\u00a0 92.4% voted to approve a contract that includes back pay lump sums, base wage increases, game knowledge wage increases, significant reductions in employee-paid healthcare premiums as well as other protections.\u00a0 The contract will cover approximately 1000 full- and part-time poker and table game dealers at the casino.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a contract that gives meaningful change to the lives of our members at MGM National Harbor,\u201d says UAW President and Director of the National Gaming Department Ray Curry.\u00a0 \u201cUAW leads in negotiating innovative contracts in gaming, and this agreement is another example of the union difference when it comes to casino workers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe bargaining team and membership knew their value to the company. The demands they made and won reflect that,\u201d adds UAW Region 8 Director Mitchell Smith.\u00a0 \u201cThis first agreement will be a strong foundation as our new members at MGM National Harbor continue to build their local union.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
