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.
