Workers complain that MGM is refusing to negotiate with union; Springfield City Council might add voice to outcry
May 1, 2025 // But every time the union tried to open negotiations, MGM has delayed or rejected overtures, which is surprising since the same union also represents about 500 other employees, such as porters, bartenders, wait staff and slot machine attendants, he said. Members of the new union, Local 301 of New England Joint Board UNITE HERE, filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board, saying casino officials have refused to negotiate. MGM has denied the charges, Snow said. The labor board followed with a complaint against the casino, which MGM is appealing. A hearing is scheduled for August, Snow said.

June 18, 2024 // The question for the UAW is where to turn next in their campaign to organize Southern auto plants. Speculation has focused on Georgia, Missouri, South Carolina, or even another crack at other factories in Alabama. But it’s not at all clear that the union has much support in any of these locations. It’s also unlikely that any of the potential target companies will sign a neutrality agreement, but rather will make sure workers have both sides of the story. So, while the UAW puts on a brave face and claims that Southern autoworkers will “Stand Up!” ꟷ it appears that what workers are standing up against is the UAW.
