Unionizing Part II - Oh Shit!

Shit! Shit! Shit!

So, I've been placing these cute little business cards in the break room. That say, "Sign an authorization card" and it lists the union website and my e-mail address: GNunion@gmail.com

I've been slow having people sign the authorization cards, because I wanted to build interest first and get support from other workers. So, I handed out some and gave extra to people that wanted to help.

I got a frantic call from another worker before I went to work the next day. She told me that one of my helpers was giving out authorization cards to dealers in the pits under the cameras. You can be fired for that and plus that ruins any surprise tactic we might have had.

Luckily, that went unnoticed. Then I learned that another dealer, from another shift, found one of my business cards and put it on a live blackjack game. This dealer was suspended for three days. All because of me. Shit! Well, because of me and because that dealer clearly lacked any sort of common sense...what an idiot!

Anyway, since this all happened, it has been announced that the dealers' break room is going to get a plasma TV and a remodel. (It hasn't been remodeled since the 70's). This is a tactic to prevent unionization. It is the buddy-buddy method of making the dealers think that everything is going to be better from now on. It is my favorite tactic, because some good comes out of it, even though all the nice things end once the election is lost (which it won't be).

Also, some of the extra board dealers (who have been extra board for 2 years or more) have been approached and told that they were going to be made full time. Also, part of the buddy-buddy system.
