Isle of Capri cuts jobs

BILOXI, Mississippi – As reported by the Biloxi Sun: "About 200 Isle of Capri employees lost their jobs in a layoff that the casino's general manager said was necessary because of seasonal slowing compounded by the U.S. 90 bridge being out.

"'We still have more employees that we had prior to the storm,' said Bill Kilduff, the general manager. 'But we have less employees that we had utilized during the summer.'

"…About a third of those laid off were contract employees, he said. Others were full-time and part-time workers.

"…The Isle of Capri reopened last Dec. 26 and was the second Coast casino back in business after Hurricane Katrina. Several other casinos opened over the summer.."
