“Since then, Detroit casino workers have received only 3% raises, but inflation in Detroit has risen 20%.

In September 2020, workers agreed to a three-year contract extension with minimal wage increases to help the industry get back on its feet,” DCC said in a statement. “Detroit’s casino workers sacrificed raises and shouldered heavier workloads so the industry could recover from the pandemic. Therefore, the Detroit Casino Council (DCC) has decided to urge the public to avoid gambling with any of the sports betting or online casino platforms that are affiliated with those venues. There is a casino workers strike in Detroit, and the union wants the gambling facilities with whom they are striking against to suffer financially until a resolution is negotiated.

The Detroit Casino Council represents Detroit casino workers at the city’s major gambling venues, and they have asked the public to support them by boycotting the four online gaming platforms affiliated with three of the gambling venues located in Detroit, Michigan.
