My outlook on Native American run casinos is negative. This place basically threw a person out the door like trash in my opinion.
Geeze!

No Union?

Are you kidding?
I don't know about Vegas but my impression is that Native American run Casinos are not organized. There is overtime pay if you work over 40 hours a week but no holiday pay.
Christmas is straight time.

I can understand the part about Christmas.

That's a white people's holiday.

All the other big ones are straight time also. My wife says that if you call in sick on a big holiday you get a point. They do points like the DMV does points when you get a ticket.
If you are late you get a point,etc.

I think he was referring to Native Americans, Cats.

Still, most of them were Christianized........ the hard way.

Well, yes sir. Everyone knows if you live in SC you are required to hate blacks, Mexicans, Catholics and Jews.

I have to go get my pointy white hood out of the dryer and find my Aryan Brotherhood secret decoder ring . . .

Stop pouting, Cats. You know damn well that attitudes and practices you describe are alive and well in South Carolina.

And this was about Indians anyway.
