Another strike averted as remaining 2 Atlantic City casinos ink new labor deals

Workers seeking an end to smoking in Atlantic City casinos say the main employee union has been won over by tobacco companies seeking allies in the fight against restrictions.

District 33 represents at least 9,000 mostly blue-collar employees, including sanitation workers.

United Auto Workers’ director is furious at other unions for supporting indoor smoking in Atlantic City casinos, despite the health risk it poses to workers.
