AC sit-in to draw thousands

October 8

In Atlantic City, as many as 5,000 casino and hotel employees along with their supporters, were planning a demonstration today at an unidentified location near Boardwalk Hall.

Local 54 members are planning to assemble at 4 p.m. at the Hall, then they plan to walk to the unnamed spot for the sit-in, where some volunteers of the union will physically sit hand in hand, until police arrest them.

Thousands of others are expected to walk off their picket lines at the seven casinos to unite with the march and demonstration. The strike has been going on for the last week in Atlantic City and has been widely follows by the media.

Demonstrators say that they will do whatever it takes to get their strong message across to the casinos involved.
