Paul,

I can't speak for the Horseshoe, but every casino I've worked at charged employees for their medical coverage. Yes, it was provided, but money was deducted from every employee on payday.

You said, "My employers owed me only one thing and that was to provide me with the agreed upon check at the end of the pay period if I did my work correctly..." Didn't the Horseshoe agree to provide their employees with medical coverage (charged or not) when they accepted their positions? Shouldn't they owe it to them since they promised it to them when they accepted their jobs?

You also said, "If the Horseshoe is such a miserable place to work, why not offer your services to someone else?" Maybe because there are over ten thousand casino employees in town that have recently been laid off and are also hitting the pavement looking for work? Pretty slick of Becky to do cut backs when she knows how tough it is right now to change jobs.

I had a paper route myself as a second job just a few years ago to get on my feet. It was tough, but I did it for two years. And, I'm also anti-union. But the "serves 'em right" approach doesn't work here either.
