Posted on: Lanni tells employees not to sign "misleading tax grab" petition

Fat cat casino exec cronies want you to believe it will hurt the gaming industry if they have to pay more taxes, they make billions in these casinos and pay their workers chicken feed,, the only people that make decent pay are the trade union employees, culinary is starting to catch up but the non union workers get the shaft, especially the security departments, if they wont pay decent wages (and they dont) and the health insurance isnt up to par (and it isn't) then they should have to make up for their greed somewhere, I agree with the accountability issue, but these casino execs have a history of intimidation and misinformation to keep the big bonuses and revenues coming in, if they were really interested in helping their workers, pay them a decent wage and give them the same insurance they give the union members,then they might find a sympathetic ear,I worked in the industry for over 20 years and part of that was at the MGM, let's just say I am better off out of the industry and I sure don't miss the MGM, in spite of all the PR hype there are a lot of unhappy people in that company, in the mean time the big boys keep pulling in those big bucks,this is of course all in my humble opinion and I think the big guys letter said I am still entitled to that,(can casino execs issue gag orders? hmmm, I wonder.).oh well that's all for me, watch out for the talking heads and always take notice, where the money goes the truth usually doesn't.
