~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We Mandalay Bay Dealers would like to congratulate the Dealers of The Rio for their fortitude and courage for deciding to hold the vote to join The TWU Las Vegas Dealers Local 721. The Vote may not have had the outcome that was expected but, guess what? TWU is here to Stay and there will be another time!!! So hang in there dealers we WILL get there!!

 

 

 

 

That's Right! After receiving Authorization Cards from an overwhelming majority of the Dealers at the Rio a petition was filed with the NLRB Tuesday June 3rd, 2008 for a Union Representation Election!

 

Rio Dealers, you have the support from all of the Dealers at Caesars Palace and The Wynn. And The Mandalay Bay Dealers Make sure you

VOTE YES

and join us in making history! They will be holding their vote July the 12th 2008 Wake Up

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WERE WE ROBBED?

  Voting was Held on 06-13-08 Isn't it ironic that the difference between the Yes and No was "13" votes            
123 - 110 (on Friday the 13th)
13 POINT DIFFERENCE
4 CHALLENGES STILL NOT OPENED
ON FRIDAY THE 13TH


SPFPA TO FILE OBJECTIONS TO THE CONDUCT OF THE ELECTION, WITH AND AGAINST THE NLRB FOR NOT SEALING THE BALLOT BOX PROPERLY ON ALL SIDES. WHEN THEY LEFT WITH IT FOR 5 HOURS DESPITE THE UNIONS OBJECTION TO DO SO!

WITH 125 BALLOTS CAST IN THE FIRST SESSION AT LEAST 5 BALLOTS WERE COMING OUT OF THE SIDES OF THE SEALED BOX!

THE UNION DEMANDED THAT THE BALLOTS BOX BE SEALED ON ALL SIDES AND THE NLRB OBJECTED!

DURING THE CLOSING SESSION THE NLRB AGENT MICHAEL J. JOHNSON

NOW TAKES THE OPEN BALLOT BOX AND UNMARKED BALLOTS TO THE BATHROOM BY HIMSELF FOR FIVE MINUTES THEN RETURNS!

YOU CONCLUDE WHAT COULD OF HAPPENED IN THE BATHROOM DURING THESE FIVE MINUTES AND DURING THE 5 HOURS WITH A IMPROPERLY UNSEALED BALLOT BOX WHERE BALLOTS COULD EASILY COME OUT FROM THE SIDES OF THE BOX!

IS THIS WHAT YOU CALL A SECRET BALLOT ELECTION? The elections held at the Wynn and Caesars Palace for the dealers were held  professionally. Nothing like what occurred at the Mandalay Bay . (Shame ,Shame)

THE SPFPA AND THE CASINO SECURITY PROFESSIONALS WORKING FOR MANDALAY BAY ARE DEMANDING A RE-RUN FAIR ELECTION WITH SAFEGUARDS TO BE PUT IN PLACE!

WE HOPE MANDALAY MANAGEMENT WILL NOT OBJECT TO A FAIR ELECTION Since Their attorneys and 2 observers Witnessed the UNSEALED BALLOT BOX and SPFPA's Demand to seal it.

As well as the observers reports of the 5 minute bathroom ordeal! That especifically is why there should have been more than ONE National Labor Relations Board (NLRB)

The SPFPA is not implying that the NLRB or Michael J. Johnson of switching any of the ballots during the 5 hours when this ballot box was in his sole possession and when he left with the unsealed ballot box and blank ballots to the bathroom for 5 minutes we are only implying that the above actions by Michael J. Johnson of NOT properly sealing the ballot box and leaving with the unsealed ballot box and blank ballots to the bathroom for 5 minutes raises many unanswered questions on the conduct of a FAIR ELECTION!

TIP EARNERS OF NEVADA
TIP EARNERS OF NEVADA

The Baldonado/Cesarz (Wynn Dealers) vs Wynn appeal was  heard in front of the Nevada Supreme Court on Monday April 7, 2008.  If you are a tip earner, this affects you!!!  We want the Nevada court system to enforce the law and stop billion dollar casino operators from taking our tips to pay their management and protect all of Nevada’s tip earners from having their tips confiscated now or in the future.  This is your livelihoods and futures on the line! 

PROTECT YOUR TIPS!
We were  peacefully demonstrating our opposition to tip confiscation in front of the Regional Justice Center building on the day of the hearing.  The court ruling on this issue will be set at a further date and as you will be kept informed.

You can always go to www.TWULocal721.org for more information on the Union or Tip situation as it arises.

             Latest on Steve Wynn Court Date

The Nevada Supreme Court appeal of the Wynn Dealer's case will be argued on 4/7/08 11 a.m. It is hoped a favorable decision for the dealers will be issued shortly after that date. Please Fill, Sign and Mail in your TWU Confidential Card Today!!! We have to make sure we keep our "Status Quo"!!!!

 

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.

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.

Mandalay Bay Dealers Website Launched on January 30, 2008

WE ARE THE UNION! This website is operated by the Transport Workers Union of America in connection with TWU’s effort to organize the dealers employed by Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. The purpose of this website is to subject the labor policies of Mandalay Bay to examination and criticism, and to communicate these criticisms to dealers. TWU wants the dealers to understand the great advantages of unionization and why they should sign representation cards and vote for TWU in an NLRB election. This pro-union web-site is not operated by or affiliated with Mandalay Bay, or MGM, or any entity controlled by or affiliated with any of these listed entities.
