The Latest: Casino Union Authorizes Atlantic City Strike
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Jun 16, 2016, 8:06 PM ET
The Latest on Atlantic City's main casino workers union voting on whether to authorize a strike (all times local):
8:05 p.m.
Atlantic City's main casino workers union has authorized a strike against five of the city's eight casinos on July 1 if contracts aren't reached with them before then.
Local 54 of the Unite-HERE union voted Thursday to authorize a strike against Bally's, Harrah's, Caesars and the Tropicana. It previously authorized a strike against the Trump Taj Mahal.
The union says workers made painful sacrifices that need to be reversed now that Atlantic City's casinos are regaining their financial footing.
The casinos say they're committed to a fair contract that works for both sides.
