"BCTC is proud to stand with Bally's Chicago in this historic building of the first and only casino in the City of Chicago," said CCBT President Michael Macellaio. "With this agreement, Bally's shows that it understands the importance of good-paying jobs in our city and the dignity of our hard-working people." "At Bally's, we believe our company should reflect the community. This PLA is a demonstration of our commitment to embrace organized labor that has played such a key role in building the great city of Chicago," said Bally's Chairman Soo Kim. "This is the first step of a project that will be built by Chicago, for Chicago, and help the city keep its promises to the police and fire pensions." "We are also committed to inclusivity and our partnerships with the CCBT, Chicago Federation of Labor, and Hire360 will ensure our workforce will reflect the rich diversity of the city," said Kim. "We appreciate that Bally's holds itself to a higher standard when it comes to employment," said Bob Reiter, President of the Chicago Federation of Labor. "Our mission is to strengthen the participation of underrepresented populations—with a special focus on engaging youth to consider the trades as a viable and inspiring career path—and Bally's has proven to take that very seriously."
