Negotiations For Atlantic City Casino Employees Moving Slowly

By admin • June 18th, 2009

Workers at Atlantic City casinos joined together to form the UAW/AC Dealers Union beginning in 2007.

Since then, the newly formed union has found the Atlantic City casino management to be a tough adversary.

Currently, the New Jersey State AFL-CIO is urging Harah’s Entertainment to agree on terms for a contract with the dealers belonging to the union.

Picketing has been taking place outside of the Ballys Atlantic City druing the AFL-CIO annual convention being held in Atlantic City this year.  Currently, the management at Bally’s is declining any attempts to bargain with the UAW/AC.  However, Bally’s may be forced to negotiate if an appeal with a federal labor board is declined.

At Caesars Atlantic City, the casino management has managed to slow negotiations with the Atlantic City workers.  The talks have been going on for more than one year.  Harrah’s cites their proven track record of dealing with Unions including the Local 54 of UNITE-HERE.
