Atlantic City Dealers Rally! |
|
 "Thousands of union activists and leaders poured into Atlantic City to support casino dealers who are trying to get a decent contract. It was an amazingly energetic rally..."
"The dealers began organizing with the United Auto Workers, which represents more than 8,800 casino dealers and other gaming industry workers in Michigan, Indiana, Rhode Island, Connecticut and New Jersey; at Foxwoods Casino in Connectict, which is actually one of the largest casinos in the world, 2,700 casino workers voted to join the UAW in November 2007...and the casino employers are dragging their feet and stalling and doing the usual nonsense to prevent the bargaining of a decent contract..."
"Caesars and Tropicana are bargaining but have been stalling. Bally's and Trump Plaza, where 70 percent of the workers voted to join the UAW, are stalling from even recognizing the union. Which led to the rally."
