Union Busting

Stagehands tried to unionize and That's when life got tough. Mark Garrity is the Union Buster of Choice throughout our City of Las Vegas!

Stagehands try to unionize, get unexpected drama
Las Vegas Sun

All major employers in this state will not like to see us succeed in a union drive.  So you can expect heat to come down on us in attempt to stop us from succeeding in our goal.  They will try to take away the very resources we've earned  and turn it against us. Fear is their only tactic and we cannot let them succeed! We must unite and stand together. 

    All that we need to do is complete our authorization cards and vote yes, and they will have to negotiate a Collective Bargaining Agreement with us. Those who want to do more, we need for you to  get involved with our organizing drive.

    What we need to know and understand is that upper management will never want us to have any type of representation because that just might end up cutting into their big bonuses and they are so use to having everything done their way, so sure while it is benefiting them why negotiate and change.

To MandalayBay - Luxor and All MGM Mirage Casinos

We know What the Anti-Union Tactics are!


Misinformation

MandalayBay and its management will twist the truth around in their attempt to instill fear and confusion in us, this is what they do best in order to stop us from uniting.

LUXOR Management Caught RED HANDED!

Just when you thought You Seen Every Dirty Trick in the Book, Luxor Security Manager David Skelton, Gets Caught Red Handed assisting Luxor employees in the drafting of a petition against SPFPA.

On or about May 29, 2008 the Employer through its agents including but not limited to Security Manager David Skelton encouraged and assisted employees to draft and circulate a petition against SPFPA. Security Manager Skelton and other Security Department supervisors assisted in creating the language of the petition, permitted unit employees to craft the petition while on duty, permitted unit employees to use Employer computers and/or copies to create the petition and otherwise assisted in the creation and distribution of the petition.

SPFPA Attorneys  have already Taken Legal Action  Against Luxor management by filing an Unfair Labor Charges with the NLRB for Encouraging and Assisting employees to draft a petition against SPFPA






We believe this petition was going to suddenly appear just prior to the FRIDAY The 13th Union Election in managements attempt to discourage the 300 Mandalay Bay Spartans from Voting YES!

MGM 2Q profit falls 68.6 percent
The Associated Press) · August 5, 2008 · 7:08 AM

MGM Mirage says its second-quarter profit fell 68.6 percent as resorts lowered room rates and visitors spent less money, according to the Associated Press.

The Las Vegas-based casino operator says net income fell to $113.1 million, or 40 cents per share, from $360.2 million, or $1.22 per share, in the prior year, the AP reports.

NLRB Finds Merit to
Unfair Labor Charges Filed by the SPFPA against
MGM Mirage subsidiary Ramparts Inc dba Luxor for Violations of Labor Law.








Before the NLRB could PROSECUTE
MGM Mirage subsidiary Ramparts Inc dba Luxor on many of the charges filed their attorneys decide to try to settle the case with a 60 day posting Not to Commit these Violations of Labor Law Again.

SPFPA Refuses to agree to Settlement Agreement and asks NLRB to issue a Bargaining Order

"Let's get ready to rumble," said Foster, president
of the Atlantic-Cape May County AFL-CIO Central Labor Council, as he announced the new route for the march. "I say today it's an eye for an eye." Maritas in green shirt Who Led the Charge to Tropicana Casino Agrees!






















Local AFL-CIO Leader Roy Foster told a crowd of Thousands at Saturday's union rally that they weren't going to march down the Boardwalk, as was previously announced. Instead, they were going to march straight down the center of Atlantic City along Pacific Avenue - a street the organizers did not have a permit to use.
Afterward, Foster and Atlantic City Mayor Scott Evans said they'd do it all again, once every month, until employees at four casinos see progress in their negotiations with management.
