Topic: Casino workers, asking for salary during the shutdown - page 17. (Read 2368 times)

Only the poor and the needy will suffer whereas the rich are still enjoying in this lockdown. I had read today on one of the news portal that newly 17m people have lost thier job in America. How will they survive in these desperate situation? They have a mouths to feed, rent to be paid and all other daily liabilities.

I think they need support their workerd because once this lockdown end for sure many of them will appreciate of the founder of casinos do but if they did not help maybe they find another casino to work.  And also of they did not want to spend a big money just give their employee a supply of food and I think it is very little for them because everymonth or weeks they earn millions of dollars.

The worst has not arrived yet Let alone the gambling industry, whole world population is under the risk of economic collapse and this probability increases not in the every week but in every hour. The infinite cash solution will pop one day the bubble and the FED will be late to help the world economy. The short breaths are the sign of the economic shutdown and gambling industry is not an exception here, unfortunately.

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.

People around the world now are crying for help and this is not the Government,Employers nor Employees fault this is a Crisis and everyone should bare with this,we need to at least tighten our Belts for a while.

we must not live like what our normal ways because this will not save us from Hell.let us just spend smaller than half of our usual days.
the problem is People tend to just ask for help but don't just help their self.

But of course we Know casinos that has a tons of money inside and it is simple for them to help thousand employees if they want.

Unfortunately this happens in many industries now. Some value their employees enough to put the "only" into "technical unemployment" where they still get some money and they can count on a job when this madness ends, but many businesses probably won't do this much and that's sad (and a real problem everywhere).


It's again a situation where the rich won't lose anything (or even gain) and the poor will be poorer. Because the relatively poor ones, the workers, are expendable  
The next year(s) may be full of such stories / tragedies. And the governments are, as usual, slow and unprepared.

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.

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.

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.
