ONE UNION-ONE EQUAL RAISE FOR ALL MEMBERS! It has been brought to the attention of the Culinary employees at the MGM Mirage hotels, through the MGM Mirage contract summary, that monies allocated to the Culinary employees by the Culinary Union, being provided by the employer by contract, are, in fact, to be allocated to the employees in an unfair, unjust and unethical manner, pending contract endorsement. More specifically, it is the concern of the tipped employees as to why monies provided by the employer, per each hour worked by a Culinary employee, to be totaled at an increase of $3.47 over the next five years, are, in fact, to be split unevenly between Culinary workers. It is believed that the first year alone, sixty-six cents additional is provided per hour, by employer, per employee. Why then are the non-tipped employees to receive sixty-three cents extra per hour while the tipped employees receive thirty cents extra per hour in wage It is clear that thirty-six cents is being taken from the tipped employees and given to the non-tipped employees! THIS IS UNFAIR! The tipped employees demand evenly dispersed money in BENEFITS and WAGES! If the non-tipped employees should have a raise, put it in the contract and take the money from the appropriate hands; NOT out of the hands of the thousands of hard-working, seemed-to-be-forgotten tipped employees of the MGM Mirage Corporation!!! How will the money continue to be allocated over the next four years 1) 80% compared to 20% raise IS NOT FAIR! This year alone, .63 cent raise for non-tipped employees compared to a .30 cent raise for tipped employees! We just recently learned, the same unfair distribution will last throughout the five year contract! 2) Every Union team member pays the same amount of dues every month! 3) Non-tipped employees scale wages are already larger then any tipped employee for that reason alone! 4) No person or company (Culinary Union) has the right to decide where an individual\'s raise goes! MGM/Mirage agreed to a .66 cent raise for all culinary employees! Why are we only getting .30 cents We are all the same team members! 5) Should part of tipped employee
