The newly negotiated contract would be a year shorter, at three years and four months, compared to the one hashed out in December. There are about 900 unionized workers between the two casinos. On Wednesday, the unions and Penn reached a new tentative agreement that addresses several concerns raised by the membership, Sweeney said, as reported by The Blade.Ī vote by members is expected Monday. Just days before Christmas, negotiators from the United Steelworkers and the United Auto Workers unions, representing approximately equal numbers of employees at two casinos, reached a tentative four-year, four-month agreement with Penn Entertainmenta few hours before the employees were due to strike.īut the workers rejected that deal 'by a pretty good margin,' sending bargainers back to the table in recent weeks, said Eric Sweeney, staff representative for International Steelworkers Local 1-346, who has been involved in the talks. Negotiators are optimistic, though, that members will ratify a deal early next week. I’m not a sound engineer but I’d be willing to bet that for about $30k I could vastly improve how patrons would hear in that room.Unionized workers from Hollywood Casino Toledo and its sister facility in Columbus, Ohio, have yet to settle on a new contract, as their previous agreement expired at the end of last year. I have seen this acoustic issue in other reviews, makes me wonder why MGM management hasn’t hired a sound engineer to help them figure this out. It could use some sound baffles along the ceiling and the side walls, this would keep the music from just roiling around the room. I partly blame the sound guys, but also blame the venue. The issue with this venue is the acoustics, song lyrics were unintelligible and the instruments seemed to just jumble in a cacophony.

Drink prices a bit steep but that seems to be common these days. Restrooms were clean and easily accessible as was the bar area. It is a fairly small theater with mostly floor seating and maybe 20 rows of bleacher style seating at the rear.

On arrival we were encouraged, no hassle from their Security, helpful ticket checkers and ushers.
