95 union workers cited for trespassing at Harrah's protest By ADAM GOLDMAN, AP
Joan Orr, 49, a cocktail waitress at Caesars Atlantic City who came for the protest, said Harrah's has to understand that union members stick together.
'When you mess with Atlantic City, you mess with Las Vegas,' she said.
Orr was one of 85 people arrested last week in Atlantic City during a sit-in.
About 10,000 casino employees, represented by Local 54 of the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees union, have been on strike against seven of Atlantic City's 12 casinos since Oct. 1.
They are demanding continued free health care, salary wages and an end to subcontracting nonunion members. The real sticking point, however, is the length of the contract.------------------------------------------- posted 6:55 AM :: reference link ::
