The rebels’ stated goal for the so-called strike was “to systematically shrink the owner’s profit margins by means of nonconfrontational casino-wide sabotage, including but not limited to slowdowns, instigation to sobriety, noninvasive advantage gambling coaching et al., both as retribution for and as leverage against the unfair and discriminatory treatment of the workforce and the industry’s demeaning and unconstitutional staffing policies.” What it meant in practice was that, in the CBA-sanctioned impossibility of an actual strike, the Shadow Union (SU) had elected to go stealth. Cocktail waitresses were, as the recent wave of layoffs had abundantly proved, one of the most replaceable job figures in the country, given the intersection of low skill requirements and high rewards/desirability of position. Bartenders and hotel staff had it just as bad, with technological advancements threatening the very existence of their jobs and making redundancies easily justifiable. And, of course, models and dancers had it worst of all. The CBA’s generic arbitration clause, covering a broad nondiscrimination provision, rendered legal action against the layoffs more or less impossible—even discounting the obvious difference in firepower of the legal teams involved. In short, the only way to get back at Wiles effectively was to do so invisibly.
