 In 2007, more than 4,000 casino dealers and slot technicians at four Atlantic City casinos put there jobs on the line to form a union with the United Auto Workers, and were victorious in gaining a Voice At Work. One year later, these workers are still without a contract.
On June 21, please join the Bergen County Central Trades and Labor Council, AFL-CIO, New Jersey State AFL-CIO, AFL-CIO President John Sweeney, and our union brothers and sisters from throughout the Northeast region of the U.S., as we march through Atlantic City to remind the casino owners that Atlantic City is, and will always be, a union city!
The Bergen and Hudson County Central Labor Councils will be providing free transportation to the rally. We will be departing from the Meadowlands Sports Complex Parking Lot Y (Located Northwest of the Race Track) at 9:00 am. |

Atlantic City casino dealers, slot technicians and other gaming employees are dedicated to quality service. They deal fairly and professionally with all of their customers.
The casinos are not dealing fairly with the workers. The employers are making huge profits, but the workers have suffered a steady erosion in wages, health care benefits and working conditions. During the past year, these casino workers voted by huge majorities to form their own unions so they can bargain over these issues.
But the casinos are ignoring the majority and trampling democratic rights. They either won't come to the table or won't do any real bargaining when they get there. Which is why, more than a year after voting YES for our union, we still don't have a contract.
To reserve a seat on the bus, please call Mauro Camporeale at 201-967-5953 or email info@bergenclc.org. Seating on the buses are first come first serve.
IT'S TIME TO CHANGE THE GAME. Join us June 21-stand up for fairness for ALL Atlantic City casino workers
