Atlantic City’s main casino workers’ union has chosen to play it safe, signing a series of one-year contracts with most of the operators rather than longer-term deals that could soon become obsolete.
Local 54 of Unite Here has secured contracts with six of the city’s nine casinos already, including a recently approved agreement with Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City. By opting for shorter contracts, the union aims to avoid potential issues in the rapidly changing casino industry landscape.
