Union negotiators were meeting Wednesday with management of three Atlantic City casinos in an attempt to reach a new contract and avoid a threatened Friday strike.
Local 54 of the Unite Here union was in talks with representatives of Caesars Entertainment, which owns three of Atlantic City's nine casinos: Caesars, Harrah's and the Tropicana.
“There's ample opportunity for us to get momentum in negotiations and follow that to an agreement,” said Bob McDevitt, the union's president. “This is the time where it's really up to the companies. They know what our objectives are.” Negotiations with Hard Rock on Tuesday night did not result in an agreement. Additional talks with Borgata are scheduled for Thursday morning.
The union has been seeking what it calls a “significant” pay raise for workers in a new contract to help them keep pace with rising costs for gasoline, food, rent and other expenses.Many individual workers say they helped the casinos survive the coronavirus pandemic and deserve to be compensated for that.
