Unite claims victory with empty casino tables
Skycity casino unions are claiming victory over the company in their strike over their collective agreement and allegations that the company discriminates against Chinese staff by denying them leave during an extended Chinese new year.
Unite Union National Director Mike Treen said their aim was to close as much of the casino as possible and that was achieved with the company only able to open a tiny fraction of the gaming tables by using inexperienced managers.
We also asked the Chinese people of Auckland to support the Chinese casino staff by not going to the casino last night. When I walked through the casino floor last night it was amazing how few customers they had and Chinese customers especially. We are asking Aucklanders to continue not coming to the Casino until February 17 which is when the company ban on accessing holiday leave for Chinese New Year expires.
