1000 Resorts and Golden Nugget Casino Workers in Atlantic City Reach Tentative Agreements with their Employers

Workers at Resorts and Golden Nugget avert strike deadline and join seven other casinos in reaching new agreements

Atlantic City—Casino Workers at the Resorts and Golden Nugget casinos in Atlantic City reached tentative agreements with their companies Thursday, in advance of a July 30 strike deadline. The union’s worker negotiating committees at the properties have approved the agreement and will set a date for a ratification vote from the membership soon. The agreements at Resorts and Golden Nugget mirror those of the other seven casinos that were settled and ratified earlier this month, with substantial wage increases for tipped and nontipped workers, housekeeping workload standards, and job protections.  All nine casinos in Atlantic City now have agreements in place with the union Local 54.
