Who We Are

We are your friends and co-workers. We are your fellow Mandalay Bay dealers. We Are the Union!

This site is devoted to an issue that effects our community. It is not about division. It is not about ‘them’ vs. ‘us’. It's not about any kind of anger that others will claim that we have. It is about the prospect of an earlier retirement. It is about the chance of getting sick without the worry of if or how our medical bills will be taken care of. It is about taking responsibility for our own future. It is not about getting even with anybody.

There are sound reasons why we want to unite ourselves. We are not troublemakers. We are not hired goons. We are your coworkers, neighbors, friends, and relatives. We go to the same parks, shops, and restaurants. Our kids attend the same schools.

We are blessed with being able to live in one of the most fabulous places on the planet.  Most of us are willing to sacrifice a great deal to live here, but security in the workplace, or lack thereof, is where a growing number of us are drawing the line.

Courage

The Wynn dealers have been very courageous going against management while working in the best job in town. Many of us at the Mirage felt rejected when we weren't chosen to go to the Bellagio. And rejected again when so many were ignored after applying at the Wynn. To see dealers with the best job in town stand up for themselves ... and win ... gives many of us the courage we need to stand up for ourselves too.

Caesar's Palace Dealers are strong, and determined not to be bullied.
And they won!  We hope to be next.
Working conditions are not going to get better for us.  Working conditions will only get worse unless we have the muscle behind us that we deserve. The Transport Workers Union will be our muscle.

This is a great opportunity for us to have representation.

This Union drive is not anything against our Supervisors, Pit Managers or our beloved MandalayBay. Some are very nice people, and we enjoy working with them.  Much like a nice player who enjoys their time with us, wins big and does not tip, their "being nice" does not pay our bills.  This is not anything personal. This is about our job security.

                                                     Changes
    
Many of us do not understand what a Union involves and where it can benefit this community. Do not let the skeptics distort what our Union will be. They’ll try to make our Union the unknown, but in reality, we will make up the Union; we are the known. Decisions made by upper management are the unknown. What is the next cut they’ll make? Vacations? Health Insurance? Taking our tips away? The last sounds ridiculous, but it has already happened in another casino.

The next owners of MandalayBay are the unknown. Do you remember what happened when MGM bought the MandalayBay? Did the situation  improve when the owners of MGM bought MandalayBay? Was this good for the employees and the community? They can change policy, and these buyers are truly the unknown. Will they sell off the properties one by one, only to subject us to yet another set of changes?

If we have a Contract, we have some certainty. Any future owners of the property here at the MandalayBay must abide by the contracts already in place with its current employees. Again, if there’s no contract, there’s nothing by which they must abide.

    

Contract and Security
We want the MandalayBay to be successful, and as Union members, we believe that we would do an even better job than we already do.

We are inviting professionals to help us to secure our livelihood. We are skilled at our service industry profession, but we are inexperienced with employer-worker contracts. We struggle like anybody else to make ends meet, and don’t have the time or background to be able to represent ourselves with the same expert assistance that our employer benefits. The TWU are the ones who will help us with the administrative duties of organizing and negotiating, a lot like a professional athlete’s agent negotiates a contract. The athletes have no problem with compensating agents for their assistance, and neither do we. For now, the primary issue is deciding that, collectively, we need a Contract.

A Contract would help us to bring security to our workplace. As workers who pool their tips. We want co-workers who contribute to a positive work environment and believe we that it can be much better than it is. Even if you don’t work for MandalayBay, we still need your support.

With the help of the National Labor Relations Act, we have some power to draw the line where enough is enough. The only question is whether or not we decide, as a group, to do so. If the Nevada Supreme Court rules against Wynn Dealers of Las Vegas about their sharing of tips with management, MGM would be free to follow suit with a similar scheme, because this tactic will increase both profits and stock value.

Anybody who wants to know the difference between working a Union versus non-Union job needs to go no farther than their local supermarket.  They are compensated with better insurance, and certainly better pay - dollars per hour more.  Our Fire Fighters have their Union.  Our Teachers have their Union, and we can still learn by their example.  We need our own Union.

A Union brings democracy into our jobs.  We live in a democracy, but we work under a dictatorship.  We would prefer to have a democracy in both aspects of our lives.

We need representation.

Organizing a Union is our right.  It is Federal Law.

This is the first step in the process:

Fill out a TWU Authorization card
for the chance to be part of the MandalayBay Dealer's Union!

Understand that signing this card simply tells the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) that we want to vote for a
Union.

PRINT the TWU Authorization Card.
SIGN it.
MAIL it to the address on the card.

After we vote to be represented by the TWU (Transport Workers Union of America),
the TWU negotiates all changes in our benefits between the MandalayBay Dealers and MandalayBay Management.

The TWU doesn't decide what we do....WE decide what we want to do. We are the union "The Dealers"
The TWU becomes our collective voice!

You are no longer alone when you're discriminated against and when no one will listen to you!
We are no longer helpless when the Corporation makes demands on us arbitrarily.

Complete your authorization card and mail it to:

Transport Workers Union Of America
