Some say if we organize we will have to pay union dues, which they think will add to our costs and result in less money in our pocket. That is wrong! Yes, Union Dues are REQUESTED BUT NOT REQUIRED! Nevada is a "Right to Work State" which means that every employee has a right to work without being forced to pay for employment (one of the meanings anyway).
70% of the dues stays in the Local Chapter while 30% goes to the International. Dues will pay for themselves many times over. First of all, let’s use cocktail waitresses as an example. Their starting pay is $13-per-hour! That is $5-per-hour more than a 20-year dealer makes! We won’t get to that level immediately, but eventually we may. But, if we were able to secure just a fifty-cent raise, that would be about double of what it would cost for Dues. There is also the possibility down the road we may even get different pays for such things as the number of games we deal (dealers who deal more games should be compensated for their skills) or for the shift we work (shift pay). Again, more than offsetting any Dues. These increases in pay will more than overcome any Union Dues we pay. Also, in the case of say an unlawful termination, the Union
will provide
an attorney to represent that dealer at no cost. Offices and the people required to administer the Union for us all cost money. Nothing in life is free. Don't let the Union Dues stop you from joining the Union.
