Atlantic City gambles with workers making a living
So the workers at these casinos voted to join a union in 2007 (UAW) since then they’ve been trying to negotiate a contract. It has gotten to a point where they have now decided to authorize a strike.
Nobody wants a strike, but we’re going to stand up to enforce our rights. We have negotiated for almost two years, but instead of reaching an agreement the company keeps cutting back. Harrah’s [owner of both casinos] has cut our 401(k) match, increased our benefit costs and laid off our fellow workers.
It would appear that the corporation Harrah’s is still doing pretty well with revenue. The next time you visit one of these casino’s (the Trump establishments are going through something similar with their workers as well) you might want to tell the management that some of that money you give them when gambling and staying in their hotels should go to their employees too.
