This week's 24-hour strike over unsafe working conditions at CityCenter had gaming analysts on Wall Street speculating about how the job action would affect casino giant MGM Mirage's standing in the financial markets -- and its ability to finish the project on time.
A company spokesman said today that MGM Mirage was not concerned about any construction setbacks. Subcontractors are reporting today to general contractor Perini Building Co. on any possible delays, said spokesman Alan Feldman. CityCenter is expected to open in phases in late 2009.
"Because it was of such short duration and we have so much time to go, I think whatever impact there may be the (subcontractors) will find a way to make up for it," Feldman said.
MGM Mirage also downplayed any damage to its image after tourists mingled with union picketers holding signs that read "UNSAFE JOB SITE."
"Had this been something that had gone on for months, we would probably be taking that into account," Feldman said. "The reality of this and both parties acknowledged it -- is that in spite of what the signs may have said, the unions, the subcontractors and Perini all care about (safety) passionately.
"This was about working out some language instead of having a substantive difference of opinion," Feldman said. "The shortness of this also drives home that point."
I'm glad that the job site are going to be safe now. For I've been following the story seens I talk to my Husband that is working down there.So I would like to say THANKS to All of the union Heads and to keep up the good work. THANKS AGAIN.

Take A GOOD LOOK AT What MGM Mirage Management Did at The Luxor The Other Day.
LUXOR Management Caught RED HANDED!
Just when you thought You Seen Every Dirty Trick in the Book, Luxor Security Manager David Skelton, Gets Caught Red Handed assisting Luxor employees in the drafting of a petition against SPFPA.
On or about May 29, 2008 the Employer through its agents including but not limited to Security Manager David Skelton encouraged and assisted employees to draft and circulate a petition against SPFPA. Security Manager Skelton and other Security Department supervisors assisted in creating the language of the petition, permitted unit employees to craft the petition while on duty, permitted unit employees to use Employer computers and/or copies to create the petition and otherwise assisted in the creation and distribution of the petition.
SPFPA Attorneys have already Taken Legal Action Against Luxor management by filing an Unfair Labor Charges with the NLRB for Encouraging and Assisting employees to draft a petition against SPFPA
We believe this petition was going to suddenly appear just prior to the FRIDAY The 13th Union Election in managements attempt to discourage the 300 Mandalay Bay Spartans from Voting YES!

My husband works on the upper floors of the City Center Project with his father, uncle, and friend. He tells me that he works on a floor that is just under the safety nets, that concerns me to the extreme. I am so happy that things will be getting a little bit safer for the workers at City Center.
