The White Earth Tribal Council has approved a new $16 living minimum wage for all tribal entities, including the Shooting Star Casino, effective March 20. The news comes after a federal minimum wage increase was rejected by congressional leadership, according to a White Earth news release.
“This wage increase shows tribal leadership’s dedication to the community and expresses White Earth’s appreciation for our team members’ hard work and contributions to the area,” said Scott Stevens, general manager of the Shooting Star Casino.
