Detroit Casino Workers Reach Tentative Union Deal, Ending Strike

Unionized workers at three downtown Detroit casinos have reached a tentative contract agreement with the casinos, potentially ending their monthlong strike. The agreement, which includes wage increases and benefits, must be ratified by union members before taking effect. The strike was launched due to disagreements over healthcare costs and wages, with workers seeking contract improvements after years of pandemic hardship. The strike has had a significant impact on tax revenues for the city and state of Michigan.
