But if they're being asked to cut like 20 percent, well, that's a pretty sizable pay cut. Anyone know? Neither article listed what was offered to the union.
From hearing Gural Saturday on Down the Stretch, I believe the other departments he worked with agreed to 30% cuts. So that it's clear, if the mutuels don't work with the hand being dealt to them, they'll be receiving a 100% cut because they'll be out of work.
