well NSB you could of saved yourself a lot of time and just answered the question with the truth.
I don't know the truth with respect to why CWs get paid whatever they get paid. I suspect neither do you (what DO cocktail waitresses and bartenders earn in "a casino"?). In any event, if they are making relatively good wages and benefits, and that's due to the negotiation power of their union, WHY AREN'T THE DEALERS JOINING THAT UNION?No, don't tell me. Let me just wallow in my obvious ignorance as regards the benefits to dealers of foregoing the opportunity to join a union that is very present and very powerful in Nevada, to instead hook up with an autoworkers union that is a shadow of its former self in its own main centers of membership and power, and zero in the state in question.
And why isn't the Culinary Workers Union actively courting the dealers in Nevada? Has someone made them an offer they couldn't refuse? Was that part of the last round of their negotiations? Or were the (Wynn) dealers afraid that the Culinary would start asking for a share of the tips also?
Either way, Nevada dealers joining the TWU or other similar union is an exercise in futility.
Actually I think the casinos made a huge concession to the Culinary union to not organize their dealers.
