This problem is a major problem worldwide. It is a big problem for the people who cannot work at the moment, especially in countries with an underdeveloped economy. While countries with developing economies constantly announce aid packages for people with this situation; those with a poor economy are experiencing difficulties in this regard.
In every country, regardless of the field in which it works, all the basic needs of everyone whose workplaces have been closed must be met. Otherwise, huge problems can be seen. Many workplaces have been closed in my country as well, and no significant assistance has been made to date.
As our friend in this topic mentioned, workers working at casinos need to be paid as much as they can meet their basic needs. I think the UN should make a statement on this issue.
Topic: Casino workers, asking for salary during the shutdown - page 14. (Read 2368 times)
I won't actually blame the casinos even if they were unable to pay the workers that are currently asking for assistance. It isn't like the casino business is the only one having difficulties and tbh, this requires proper fund management from the person themselves. If the casino helps them, then everyone's happy tbh. But if the casino doesn't, I doubt they have the right to actually complain about it. After all, business is business. You work for me and I pay for you, and I believe most contracts uphold this basic concept. It isn't their responsibility, but, it can be their right to freely give them. It isn't like how rich people are required to help poor people, but rather the government is required to prevent people from being poor right? And it's also up to the government to prevent the rich from taking advantage of their riches. Though sadly, responsibility is a difficult thing to uphold, especially when in the government.
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.
If the casino is able to provide the salary then it is well and good asking them to take care of their financial struggles is a tough ask, the lock down and the virus spread will lead to a financial crisis and that will affect their business and these casino owners have to be prepared for those situation too.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.
No one expected a complete lock down in the wildest dreams to be prepared for a situation like this and hence you cannot blame anyone for this situation. The government will come up with a resolution by extending their loan and providing essential products. 
They need to be helping now but we cannot force them.
i believe that US government is helping also right?so lets stay safe and let us not blame anyone about this because this is a Virus and no one knows what will happen next time.

"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.

It is certainly not the fault of the workers in the sector if the casinos have had to close given the current situation, in my opinion all the casinos should support their employees economically in these times of crisis I do not think given their usual high earnings that would lose much and then when they reopen it is better to have the same experienced employees who know how it works...
This only concludes how important to have a savings so we can prepare to this kind of scenario and for the workers, I cannot blame them if they are asking their employers for a salary because they need money right now in order to buy food and etc. just to survive in this type of situation.
In our country, the government are asking for employers to pay their employee a one month salary during the lock down and this is to help the employee in surviving the lock down. If the government in Las Vegas will do the same then it can surely help the employee to get their salary but if not the employee will have to wait for their employers whether they are kind enough to give some money to their affected employee.
But there are some who couldn't do it even save a small amount from their salary for emergency purpose or for times like this.
We couldn't blame them just think about what they have done in order to survive before the crisis occur there are some who are already having a hard time managing their income or only make enough to live their life.
This is what i Hate to this situation that These gambling owners are becomes more richer because of their employee brings success to their business but when people needs them most?denial is what they got.
Yeah businesses are not oblige to help their employee because they should have responsible for their own lives but having this pandemic?consideration must be in place .
or else these casinos must not be followed and use by people because of their Bad attitude towards their people.

I think that will depend on the casino policy if they really concern with their employee, they should take care of them, at least, they can support the daily needs to their employee.
Definitely it depends on the policy, but if the casinos can't provide what the employees need, maybe they can extend some help through loan, that way it will be able to help their employees at this situation and they'll get back that loan once the business resume its operation. I don't think to give them loan will help and solve the problem because they don't know when the pandemic will over so they can come back to work again if this pandemic stays for a long time, how they can pay the debt while they cannot go out to search for a new job. Giving a loan can be an alternative solution, but that doesn't solve the problem in the long term. As I said before, these situations are difficult for both the casino and the employee, but we can hope that there will be a win-win solution for both. The employee cannot expect the casino to guarantee or support for their lives if the casino doesn't have money to give to them.

Probably, the casino can pay the salary for 50% for their employee every month. But, I think that it will be difficult for the casino itself because all businesses and workers cannot work as usual, and the casino cannot getting revenue. The casino depends on how many gamblers spend their money in their places. So if their place shut down, they will not get any money at all. It's dilemmatic here, the casino wants to pay their workers, but they don't have revenue, the employee cannot buy their daily needs for living. I think that will depend on the casino policy if they really concern with their employee, they should take care of them, at least, they can support the daily needs to their employee.
This pandemic showed the true intentions and concern of a lot of businesses among their employees. Here in our country there are a few businesses and companies who had paid their employees with a month's worth of salary even without their employees going to work. Sadly, these casinos are earning a lot of money through their employees' effort failed to extend their help during the pandemic.
There are some casino company who is showing there true color during this time of pandemic. There are many reports that their employees doesn't receive payments and assistance while the lockdown is still occurring. It is really sad because most of them have no more any other sources of food and money in order to survive. The management of casinos should also focus on helping their workers. not all casino are earning good and also offline casinos and gambling places are the one that is totally affected with it . so dont put all the blame on them guys . only online casinos are now earning good so far so obviously these are the ones that provide donations for thier workers but i forgot that its online anyway , so workers can still safely work from thier own home except to those who need to report for the casinos actual offices to do paper works and stuff like that that isnt possible to do online

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.

If we are to be practical about it, the casinos don't have to pay their workers, not only because they are not working but also, and more importantly, because the business has no revenue to support that. They have the option to pay them even if they are not working, but if that would spell bankruptcy to their business, that would be much worse. Their workers will have nothing to go back to after this pandemic.
The government's timely intervention is what is necessary during this time. Pending such assistance, the workers will have to start spending what they have kept for the rainy days.

As I said above, that's not a mandatory thing to do by a company. If they paid their workers right during the covered days, the follow-up salary during the lockdown is not mandatory to give. It's on a company's own will to provide more and based on the article shared by OP, I think they already paid for it but the workers demanding that the salary should continue even lockdown which is not easy even you say they are rich. There are thousands of workers, we are not talking about less than 100 workers here.
I think companies already lend a hand and extended it to their workers but to the point, they will support all workers until the lockdown end, that's a no brainer since as I point also above, this will lead into the business crash which is far worst as it will decrease employment once the situation back to normal.
These workers, instead of requesting a hard demand for the company should knock the doors of the government. The government is the key body to help people. Also try to save money as much as possible. We have to expect that in this crisis, we should help ourselves and our usual lifestyle back then will not be the same including what food we eat.

Many employers are not paying their employees not just the casino. They have this rule for not paying because their company/business were close and I think its their right to refuse. However during this time we can see the employers who have real concern to its people by continue giving salary despite of stop production, especially everyone is affected of the lockdown. In our company no work, no pay as well and we cant do anything about it. We are just counting in our savings and the relief goods from the government.

I guess the government should help the people more as they never lose money, they just collect tax from the people and they don't invest on it.
The company invest a lot, so if employees loss their job it's expected that the company is struggling that's why they can't blame each other.
If the casinos here enough buffer for this kind of situation, they can give but it is their own will, they will not be force here as they are not breaking any law, demanding is quite harsh of what employees should do, they just have to request on it, now, it could be granted or not by their employers.

It's really up to the employers to take responsibility and pay their employees in this lockdown, but they can only help as much as they can. So yes, a 2 week or month salary is good in my opinion. They are also losing big money when the closure of their casinos. So this whole Covid-19 has really fuck up everyone around us and it is going to be survival for everyone. Even governments are doing their best to help their people around the world but they can't go on giving money to everyone. This situation really a eye opener for us, better save for rainy days.
