Volunteer Hours


     Harrah’s even cuts its costs by requiring its salaried personnel to work "volunteer/community service" hours in other various areas unrelated to gaming, and these are all areas which could easily have individuals properly paid in other departments to perform the tasks. For example, extra security could be brought in to assist with concerts instead of offering managers this option to burn off their community service hours. Our Supervisors did not commit a crime, so why the requirement of community service?

     They say “volunteer,” but we know that it amounts to nothing more than free labor for Harrah’s, thus lowering the standard. Tactics like these also further erode competitive wages in the area due to decreasing the supply of jobs. Certainly, we understand that we cannot negotiate our supervisors' issues, but we do fully understand that cost-cutting measures affect all of us.

Supervisors, we have this area of the site devoted to you.
