Such courage. A lot of the current privileges we have is due to people like this. In fact, the only reason we as workers have any tool at all against the huge power disparity giant corporations aim at us is our solidarity. Please tell your family and friends to never, ever cross a picket line. Today it’s them, tomorrow might be you…

This is disgusting but predictable. Caesars hires Littler Mendelson to run captive-audience meetings, threats, surveillance and propaganda, then pets in local government hand them all the public space so they can try to choke the picket. It smells like corporate power and local politicians selling out the public for whatever crumbs Caesars tossed their way.

Huge respect to the dealers for staying disciplined and militant. “One day longer, one day stronger” is not just a slogan, it is survival. This fight is exactly why unions exist, and letting a casino run union-busting playbook unchallenged sets a dangerous precedent.

If you can, show up to the line, spread the word, boycott until they recognize the union, and donate to the strike fund. Call the Shelbyville officials and tell them to stop enabling repression. Caesars needs to know they cant buy democracy with lawyers and crony deals. Solidarity.
