Dozens Of Striking Casino Workers Arrested 1010 Wins, NY
In a raucous but nonviolent demonstration, they marched off the Boardwalk and into an intersection two blocks away, where those who had volunteered in advance to be arrested sat in a circle in the street, surrounded by cheering members of Local 54 of the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees union.
Ten minutes later, police began arresting them one by one, beginning with Local 54 President Robert McDevitt, Vice President Al Cohen, UNITE HERE executive John Wilhelm and 65-year-old Chhitu Patel, a bald, bespectacled Gandhi lookalike who wore flowing white robes and sandals and carried a 5-foot-tall wooden staff.------------------------------------------- posted 10:03 AM :: reference link ::
