As a union worker at Encore Boston Harbor casino and resort, I’m excited to spread the word that Local 26 has planned the first ever public rally at a Wynn property this Wednesday 5/24 at 3pm! If anyone wants to join, they are more than welcome! We are making this as PUBLIC as possible since Encore wants to keep our issues behind closed doors!
We’ve been trying to renew our contract since March. It expired in April, and since then negotiations have stagnated. Encore, one of the few Forbes five star resorts in the world, has been telling us that they can’t afford to pay its workers the same as other 2 and 3 star hotels in Boston. Meanwhile, they boast record profits in the news and on the stock market. We are simply asking for parity with other hotel union workers in Boston, so we can continue to afford living as costs skyrocket. Encore CAN afford to pay us what we deserve, and we’re fighting for it now!
It’s going to be a big crowd on a beautiful day. Anyone sympathetic to the cause and available, come through!
