More Atlantic City Casino Workers to Unionize

WNYC News | Jul 12, 2010

New York, NY —

Full- and part-time card dealers at the Tropicana Casino and Resort in Atlantic City have approved a bid to unionize. The union says the dealers voted overwhelmingly Saturday to join the United Auto Workers. The UAW has been pushing hard to organize workers at all of Atlantic City's 11 casinos. It has won elections at four gambling halls and lost at two others.

Earlier this year, a majority of casino dealers at Caesars, Bally's and Trump Plaza voted for UAW representation. On Thursday, slot technicians at Caesars Atlantic City casino approved a bid to join the union. Dealers at Caesars voted in March to unionize, while cashiers at the casino will make their decision on September first.
