Union officials said after the vote count, which was overseen by officials from the National Labor Relations Board, that the union is not discouraged and will continue to try to organize at local casinos.

I thought the union was the dealers, and that the dealers were the union.

According to what we've been told by pro-union pushers here regarding what or who constitutes the union, therefore, at the Rio, the union rejected itself.

How then can union officials say that the union is not discouraged and will continue to try to organize at local casinos? How can the union be said to be discouraged or not when it wasn't even formed? And why should the union ever be discouraged about rejecting itself? Foidamoa, how can "union officials" exist and give interviews, when the union wasn't even formed?

As I now understand it:

1. A union is an organization separate and apart from any dealer or body of dealers who might decide to join it.

2. Union officials are employees of a union.

3. This union doesn't get discouraged when it is rejected.

4. This union will try to organize at other local casinos.

So, why will union officials continue to try to organize at local casinos? It had been my understanding that 'trying to organize' was what some dealers were doing, not some union officials. I'd been under the impression that the union waited until it was invited by the dealers to help them organize. Obviously, I was wrong to believe the pro-union pushers on here.

Is that what you thought you read? I suggest you try looking at the words and concentrating harder in future. Tell me though, why do YOU care whether another dealer joins a union or not? What's in it for you?

ALL LV dealers not voting in a union before the Wynn tip redistribution.

ALL minus 986 LV dealers not voting in a union two years after the Wynn tip redistribution.

What percentage is that, G money?

The trend is clearly for dealers to continue to NOT vote in a union.

Apparently, having lost the union debate here, and in face of bitter disappointment at the Rio (ziggy's had to pop about 1000 cartoon speech balloons), the pro-union pushers have actually taken what's left of their balls and gone home.

Please, a word of caution. Don't let the forum door...
