In a shocking turn of events, Star Entertainment Group has reversed course just a day after announcing relief measures for its Sydney casino amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The Australian casino giant had initially announced on Wednesday that it would be temporarily closing its Sydney casino and providing financial assistance to its employees who are impacted by the closure.
However, on Thursday, the company announced that it would be keeping the doors of its Sydney casino open and would not be providing any relief measures to its employees. This sudden reversal has left many people baffled and confused as to why the company would make such a drastic change in its decision.
The initial announcement of the closure and relief measures came as a welcome relief to many employees who were facing uncertainty and financial strain due to the closure of the casino. The closure of the casino was expected to last for at least two weeks, with employees being provided with financial assistance during this time.
But just a day later, Star Entertainment Group announced that it would be keeping its Sydney casino open and that employees would not be receiving any financial assistance. The company cited financial reasons for this sudden change in decision, stating that the closure of the casino would result in significant losses for the company.
The abrupt reversal has sparked outrage among employees and union groups, who have accused the company of being callous and uncaring towards its employees. Many employees are now left in a state of limbo, unsure of what the future holds for them and their livelihoods.
In response to the backlash, Star Entertainment Group has stated that it is working on a new plan to provide financial assistance to its employees but has not provided any details or timelines for when this assistance will be available. The company has also promised to keep its Sydney casino open for as long as possible, despite the financial strain it may cause.
The sudden reversal by Star Entertainment Group has sent shockwaves through the industry and has raised questions about the company’s handling of the COVID-19 crisis. Many are now questioning the company’s priorities and whether it truly cares about the well-being of its employees.
As the situation continues to unfold, employees and union groups are calling for transparency and accountability from Star Entertainment Group, urging the company to do right by its employees and provide the financial assistance that was promised to them. The future of the Sydney casino and its employees remains uncertain as the company tries to navigate through these turbulent times.
