Unfortunately, employer opposition stands in the way of achieving real justice. In New Jersey, Connecticut, Nevada and Indiana, these workers have waged heroic fights to win justice and a real say in their working conditions. In the past two years, dealers, slot technicians and other gaming workers who traditionally have not been organized have formed unions, won elections and in some instances are bargaining contracts. While that reputation is deserved for certain portions of the workforce, thousands of gaming workers do not enjoy the security of union contracts.
The gaming industry long has been known for providing good union jobs with stable employment, solid wages and benefits.
