Foxwoods Resort Casino is seeking to shed 50 table-games dealers.....
According to the dealers' union. In a notice to members, Local 2121 of the UAW, which represents some 2,100 dealers, says casino management is offering 10 severance packages for "dual-rates" - dealers who sometimes serve in supervisory roles - and 40 for regular dealers, of which 15 are "enhanced."
The offers provide two weeks' pay for each year of employment up to a maximum of 26 weeks. The enhanced packages also provide an additional amount for the tokes, or tips, dealers regularly earn.
Earlier this year, 15 dealers accepted early-retirement packages after the union filed a grievance in connection with the casino's hiring of 15 Mashantucket Pequot tribal members who'd been trained as dealers. The Mashantuckets own Foxwoods. "It actually worked out well," said Mary Johnson, the union president. "We had enough people who wanted to go." Johnson said Tuesday she was hoping to similarly avoid "any involuntary layoffs" in the current downsizing among dealers.
