October 12
In Atlantic City on Monday, casino and
hotel workers involved in the
current strike extended an offer to
recommence negotiations in order
to end a 10-day-old strike
that has rendered thousands of
workers, causing
casinos to get by without them.
The p resident
of Local 54 of the Hotel
Employees and Restaurant
Employees union, asked the
casinos' bargaining reps to meet with union
representatives on this
Friday, Oct. 15.
The union
is renting a meeting room to
host the would-be resuming
talks. There have not been any
talks or negotiations since the
Oct. 1 walkout staged by 10,000
bartenders, cocktail servers,
housekeepers, food servers, many
other service industry
positions.
The
bargaining group was formed last
week by reps for
Harrah's Entertainment, Caesars
Entertainment, Resorts Atlantic
City and the Tropicana Casino
and Resort.
Before the group was formed ,
the Local 54 union was
bargaining with
each casino company on an
individual basis.
S pokespeople
for Caesars Entertainment and
Harrah's had no comment at this
time regarding any new deals. ent.
