APNewsBreak: Union, Golden Nugget OK new contract
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/02/06/apnewsbreak-union-golden-nugget-ok-new-contract/
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. – The main Atlantic City casino workers union ratified a new contract Monday night with the Golden Nugget Atlantic City.
Workers voted overwhelmingly in favor of the deal. Terms were the same as in contracts reached in recent months with other Atlantic City casinos, calling for modest raises and successfully fighting off management demands that workers contribute for the first time to their pension and health insurance costs.
The three-year contract covers almost 600 cooks, housekeepers, bartenders, cocktail servers and other service workers at the Golden Nugget.
Local 54 of the Unite-HERE casino union now has contracts with eight of Atlantic City's 11 casinos. It does not yet have contracts with the former Atlantic City Hilton, Resorts Casino Hotel and the Tropicana Casino and Resort, which last week declared an impasse in contract talks and said it would implement its own last, best offer with or without union approval.
