Caesars Atlantic City workers vote for union24 August 2007ATLANTIC CITY, New Jersey -- As reported by the Press of Atlantic City: "Slot technicians at Caesars Atlantic City voted 20-11 for representation by the United Auto Workers on Thursday, granting the union its second victory there in five months. "The UAW began contract negotiations with Caesars on Aug. 9 for dealers and keno and simulcast employees, who voted in the union by 82 percent in March. The UAW until now focused its unionization efforts mainly on dealers at Atlantic City's 11 casinos - so far, those at three have voted for the UAW and two against it - but its victory Thursday marks the beginning of a broader organizing drive. "...He added that the slot technicians' vote 'sends a message that men and women across Atlantic City are empowering themselves, and I think it's great for negotiations.' "...Cashiers at Caesars are scheduled to vote on UAW representation Sept. 1. Dealers at Tropicana Casino and Resort will vote Saturday..." copyrighted material written for and appeared exclusively in The Press of Atlantic City |
