Tentative Pact in Atlantic City Strike
Atlantic City casino-hotel workers reached a tentative contract agreement that signals an end to a month-old walkout.
Local 54 of the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees union, representing about 10,000 striking bartenders, cocktail servers, housekeepers and other service employees, approved the five-year deal late Monday. It calls for significant gains in wages and benefits and guards against the casinos’ practice of leasing space to non-union restaurants and bars.
A vote by rank-and-file members was planned for today.
The walkout has affected Harrah’s Atlantic City, Showboat Casino-Hotel, Resorts Atlantic City, Bally’s Atlantic City, Caesars Atlantic City, Tropicana Casino and Resort and the Atlantic City Hilton.
