Topic: Casino workers, asking for salary during the shutdown - page 13. (Read 2374 times)

^ Definitely right, we need to survive at this moment. It is really sad to those people who did not have savings for any tragedies come in the future, just like what happened now, everyone was not ready and they don't have enough saving in order to survive without help from their employer or any help from the government. Nevertheless, I never heard government such a country affected by a coronavirus that never helps their citizen.

~snip~
This crisis is really unexpected so we can't blame workers who are asking for their companies' help. During this time, employees would know if their employers value them and have a concern for their situation. It's like a survival game for most of us so we can't rely everything on the government or even for companies who are also trying to save themselves from bankruptcy.

Although it's awful that some successful casino owners and management forget to protect and help their employees who helped them to become successful, some casino owners were able to send help and give their employees the salary they need. Perhaps they don't care about their employees' financial struggle because they have a lot of money, and they can survive the whole lockdown with that money.

It's their responsibility to give them a salary even if the business is closed. They should be prepared in times like this, and for sure they have an emergency fund to provide their employees. It's only a simple sacrifice for the employees who have been working for them every day.

Casinos and other non-essential businesses were temporarily closed due to the virus spreading the word. We often think about gambling businesses having no income, and the decrease of the stock market. But we're forgetting about their employees who get no job and salary in the current situation.

Casino workers in Las Vegas showed their disappointment and anger towards their employers who failed to help and provide them what they need. Famous Las Vegas Strip of glitzy hotels and casino is closed due to lockdown, and thousands of their employees were left with no work and income. However, some casinos were able to support their workers and offered them a two-week salary, others gave four, while some gave nothing.


Las Vegas has more than 40 million visitors every year and it is known for casinos. According to the American Gaming Association, if all casinos in the US will continue to be closed until mid-May, including nearby restaurants and bars, $43.5 billion in economic activity will lose.


The treasurer-secretary of the giant Las Vegas-based Culinary Union, Geoconda Arguello-Kline called giant operating casinos to do their responsibility in the community.

They need comassions from their respective employers, this people serve the company they are not aware and unprepared with how things turned
with this pandemic virus, they will appreciate all the help that their companies will provide to them. Casino owners have reserve money surely they
can afford to release such amount to help their employees to survive from this crisis.

A terrible situation (as in many other industries). I am happy for those whom the state helps with money - for example, this is not the case in my country, so my situation is more complicated 
Interestingly, in connection with the closure of offline casinos, has the number of online players increased? Or did people’s lack of income play a role here?

Of course, they need to have some sort of support from their company too, they were the one who was working all this time to make them rich. It does make sense if they asking some beneficiaries from their respective companies. because they are their people they need to help them. Right now all necessary means if legal should be done because if we don't do such act, we won't die on the virus, we die on hunger.

"We often think about gambling businesses having no income"

- I think this is wrong though, gambling business is a big income business and even though they've closest their casino, they have a lot of money at their disposal. And they could compensate their employees, whether it is a regular paying employee or not. They owe their success to those hard working guys and they should return this big favor to all the people around them. They can definitely cover all the lost they have incurred in this lock down very easily, once everything settles down.

   Plvbob0070 I totally agree with you!!! My younger sister works in casino, she is on holiday more than a month,
casino where she works is closed when pandemic started. Owner of casino is still pays them, and told them to
not worry about paycheck and their jobs, when they start working again owners expect all of them to come back
and work! That is fair! Now in time of crisis is not very nice when owners show irresponsibility towards their workers.
If someone throw me on the street now, I wouldn't go back there! People would find better job they can have respect, in good and bad times.

But if they don't show care to their employees, no workers will be local to them. If they only want an employer-employee relationship, workers won't bother to stay long in that kind of business. They also need to feel the care of their company in an emergency situation. Business is nothing if it's not for their workers. They should appreciate their work.

Governments have bailout plans and other related economic packets for helping the threatened sectors of the economy. The latest global lockdown has affected the casino workers too and the situation becomes worse every day of the quarantine. Gamblers have alternative choices such as playing online games but the conditions are not fair for casino employees.

Unpopular opinion here... I don't think the casinos should pay the employees during the shutdown.

Casinos pay employees to work, if they're not working why should they get paid? Casinos and most jobs don't care about the livelihoods of their employers, their main purpose is obviously to make money. They clearly won't be making money if they're not even open. Sure, they could continue paying their employees now and go bankrupt off the back of it. Or they could just not pay them and let the government step up to protect its tax payers.

An employer-employee relationship shouldn't mean you should suddenly start paying people to do nothing when shit hits the fan. If these people don't have their own savings then that's on them.

Do you mean these rich owners should support their employers a lifetime or while shutdown? What if the lockdown lasted for about a year? They aren't obliged to do it since in the first place all are affected. Being them as rich doesn't play a role here. It's nice though if they will do that.

As long as the company supports them during the early weeks, that's fine. The salary and additional bonus should be well enough to cover at least a month. But if no support made then that's the time they can shout to the company and even sue them.

The government itself must play a role here to provide assistance to all, not the owners themselves. And I know these companies and sectors are also contributing to donations.

I think this is possible because in our country all of the workers has been given an assitance by the Department of Labor and Employment and some company requires to give assistance to their workers as well, it is the right thing to do because they are all deserve that help with all their hardworks and efforts for the company. A simple help with their boss with this current situation where crisis is still affecting so many lives is very appreciative, this would make them more loyal working on your company.

Casino gambling is very profitable so the assistance that they are going to give to ther employee is just a simple thing for them. They earn so much money in casino so I think they will help their workers.
