grayhair Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 They are now free, free at last, to leave the picket line and go get in the unemployment line. Of course they were free all long to improve their own marketability by getting more education or learning new skills. Seems silly to go home to your family and say " We beat Carl Icahn, but I am unemployed." And, "Yes dear, he is still a billionaire." http://www.businessinsider.com/trump-taj-mahal-casino-is-closing-amid-a-labor-dispute-2016-10 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47441-union-wins-freedom-for-its-members/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurstscrambler Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 No great loss, another crappy casino gone. How does a waitress learn new skills to increase her marketability as a waitress?

Andy I know you're being facetious, but I am always amazed that people are willing to work at low paying jobs and not willing to make a few sacrifices to improve their situation. There are always better jobs available for those that will make the effort to prepare for them. For a waitress, go to night school and get an associates degree in business or nutrition, or hospitality. Then apply for a job to manage a bar or restaurant. One of my daughters was a waitress, went to college, got a bachelors in business, and now she manages a bar. I urge her to aim higher but the pay is good and she likes what she doing. My theory, you gotta like your job and receive pay that makes you smile. Otherwise it's time for a change. These casino employees had several years advance notice that the area casinos were closing. If they did nothing to prepare for that eventuality, then tough beans for them. IMHO.

hurstscrambler Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I'm just kidding, no dog in that race for me. Your right, everyone has opportunities to make there lives better or worse. I hope they are happy with there decision, I guess that's all that matters? Any opportunity for a joke and I go for it.

Underdog Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 So many circumstances in play as to why Atlantic city NJ is on the skids... Funny how Donald Trump saw the writing on the wall and sold this casino almost 10 YEARS AGO yet the RIGGED media still attaches his name to it.
