SAULT TRIBE FACTS - If it is not a fact it must be fiction................................

Last night while driving towards the Casino I saw Paul Currie the Beverage Manager staggering his way down the road to the Casino. He has harrassed help in there in the past while drinking and should be terminated for this.

I was told this morning that Paul Currie was fired a couple of weeks ago. He should be barred from drinking in the Casino too.

Denise Chase is known to sway the other way when she needs political favor. Like her daughter becoming the St. Ignace Casino manager with only a few years experience!

How many better qualified members were passed over because of this kind of practice? This is a great example of what the membership is trying to get away from, nepotism, cronyism and favoritism!!!

This is one issue you should keep in your mind.

Denise Chase is up for election!

way to go kewadin "business of the year"

Way to go employees! There are no doubt you where behind this achievement. They should give you all a big bonus! Just like the Tribal Board gives them selves for doing nothing.

Did the parking lot get approved to change? Who approved the "go ahead"?

We are put through drug testing and Director Gravelle that backed the drug testing gets caught with drugs. You know what! You can take this job and shove it. I quit and advise my friends to do the same until the rules apply to everyone. This is why we need a Union like the Greektown Casino. It sure is nice sitting here enjoying a drink and knowing I don't have to get up for work. Especially for a job that wants to control what you do after work. I been wanting to say this for a long time and I hope you don't censer me for it. Payment you can kiss my f...ing ass and get someone else to work for your Dicktating ass.

Do we have to give up more of our Treaty rights to get the parking lot changed to a gaming lot?

What a mess!

Has anyone even looked at the shuttling of elders and physically challenged patrons to the casino and then back to the new Hotel? The casino vans are so hard for even the physically fit people to get in and out of, how are the others to get in and out of them.
I challenge the Board of Directors to get into some of those vans and see how it feels. Our patrons are supposed to feel like "royalty" when they use our facilities, not a bunch of "junk". What happened to "good customer service".

Sounds like the left hand doesn't know what the right one is doing.

It is a big shame what the Elders and Disabled have to go through. The problem that the Tribal Board has is putting their close relatives and friends in these jobs. These people do not have a clue on how or what should be done to better the lives of the Elders and Disabled. They need experience people with fresh ideas to realize these problems and actually do something to help. It sure is not hard to see what is needed like new vans and better pay to the employees to raise morel to the point that they actually enjoy their jobs. In turn this would trickle down to better service and the Elders and Disabled having a better time at the facilities. This would also contribute to better revenue when everybody is having fun and enjoying him or herself. Will this happen? Probably not because they are too interested in providing their close relatives and friends with this service.

I think it is worse than that! When ever has anyone been treated like royalty at any of the Sault Tribe Casinos? You can't take G.E.D. graduates that have never been to a nice hotel/casino and stick them in black and white and expect them to know how to treat people. Why not use the jet to fly the employees out to Vegas so they can see how they are suppose to speak and act around costomers?

They should drug test upper management. A lot of problems are coming from the select few. They can start with Prenny! Use every day employees are getting tired of being tested well other people that should be seem to get out of the testing. So if you want people treated right then start by treating all employees equally.

New employees act excited as they finaly have a job with the casino.
Unbeknownst, they have been castrated of thier dignity and integrity.
"AT WILL DOCTRINE" included in the manual is overlooked or never looked at by all employees.
You employees are now subjugated "AT WILL" for any reason or no reason as stated in the doctrine.
The only rule that is mandatory for the tribal casino to abide by is the liqour laws and paying unemployment.
Most likley near entry doors not so obvious to anyone,a sign will say, not regulated by the State of Michigan.
This in a round about manner proclaims that the tribal casino does not honor the equal opportunity act and is not required to.
You have no protection nor does any customer have any rights or protections, that enters a tribal casino on tribal land. Enter at your own risk!
Do not feel bad when you are terminated for any reason or a manufactured reason just to make it look official.
No matter how faithfull you have been and done an excellant job, the board will not make an an attempt to protect you if you are not related to them and even then they may not.
If the board would ever get off thier asses and perform the duties they swore to uphold ( Representation ) you may see a difference in your benefit and a difference in the attitude of the administration and the managment toward you.Until that time expect to be treated like shit "AT WILL" just because they can, and they want you to fully understand and realize thier dominating powers over you.
A Totalatarian regime crushes all autonomous institutions in its drive to seiz the human soul. Your employer the tribe, regulates every realm of your new casino, job,life.

Word is Management at the Casino under the direction of Allan Bouschor and Prinny Sawaysky will not let the employees take restroom breaks.

I say again, that is illegal by State of Michigan Labor Laws. Get a Union and stop the torture. Drug test all those leaders! REQUIRE IT! And fire them. Set the workers free.

What are your thoughts about Alan Bouschor and Prinny Sawaysky?

They both should be fired! Neither Alan Bouschor nor Prinny Sawaysky puts in a full days work. But yet they are paid for a full day. You have to look at their Bosses and wonder why they are allowing this to happen. I say fire the whole upper management and replace them with honest ones. That would be a great step in the right direction. It would show the rest of the employees that if you do not do your job you would be gone. No matter who you are or what your last name is! It would also help the morale of the rest of the employees when they know everyone is being treated fairly.

I see several board members do not open their mail or just do not have the concern or time too.
It is time for evaluation and a raise for the casino workers.

$3.40 per gallon of gas.

This figures out to about a lose of $ .40 cents per hour if you can get by on 1 gallon of gas per day to go back and forth from home to work, that is if you get about 15 miles per gallon with your junker.
Those of you who live in Kinross will be hurt the most, and others whom live out of town.
You front line workers have been losing close to 40 cents per hour ever since the price jumped to about $2.95 per gallon.
At $4.00 to $6.00 per hour wage, the cost of a sitter, and many other small ticket expenditures, you should expect to receive, at least a 10% increase in your wage, and that is only to get by with, and no frills or McDonalds happy meals.
This is not where it stops, as you will see an increase in food, and many manufactured good.
Customers whom travel will also feel the effect and this could mean a decline in patronage and the amount spent to gamble.
Reality is folks!
Do you think the $70,000.00 board members and $100,000.00 chairman and his affiliates will feel the crunch? Not likely as they most likely, have already been taken care of.
Just some plain and simpleton reasoning eh!

Tony Goetz has the balls of a chipmunk. He is trying to screw the Employees out of their vacation time. When Employees ask for vacation they are denied because of incompotents like Prinny Sawasky who value their time more than the Employees. Does anyone know what Steve Sprecker does other than hide in hide office?

The postings on the blog are currently being moderated. Some off the wall faction keeps posting vulgar and inappropriate posts that are non-factual. Sorry for any inconvience this may cause.

The Kewadin Casino Employees would like to wish Aaron Payment and the Board of Directors a Merry Christmas.

Because of the Incentive cut this year we will not be enjoying Christmas like we were use to doing, as we will be limited in helping Santa provide for our children.

We should get use to it anyways! Because next year when the Incentive check is cut all together Santa will have to lay off some of his Elf’s. I hear they are getting tired of it anyways.

We just ask that you think of your employees and their children when you all get together on Christmas Day to celebrate with your family and friends.

We surely will be thinking of all you elected officials when we gather together this year to watch our children open their gifts from Santa.

Merry Christmas
Kewadin Employees
