Caesars casino dealers union approved

ATLANTIC CITY (AP) — The parent company of Caesars Atlantic City has decided not to challenge a vote by workers to form a union, granting casino dealers in Atlantic City their first union in 25 years.

The deadline for Harrah's Entertainment Inc. to challenge the March 17 unionization vote was Monday, according to the company and the United Auto Workers, which is representing nearly 900 Caesars dealers, keno and simulcast employees.

The workers voted 572 to 128 to become part of the UAW.

The union said it was notified by the National Labor Relations Board on Tuesday that the board had certified the results of the election, clearing the way for collective bargaining at Caesars.

Now comes the hard part: Bargaining.

Congratulations.

I don't gamble, but if I did, that would be an even better place to go.
