New Jersey Casino: Atlantic City's Casino Workers Set For Salary Increase
Super Slots

Unite Here Local 54 represents over 10,000 Atlantic City casino employees. They want to be middle class. Bob McDevitt believes a significant wage raise is long needed.

Contracts at eight of the city's nine casinos expire at the end of this month. The casinos are facing a legal challenge to a PILOT relief law and a coming indoor smoking ban. Dealers in Atlantic City make an average of $25/hour, but union representatives believe staff should be paid more.

New Jersey Casino workers are set for a salary increase.

Hard Rock Atlantic City has already increased compensation to retain and recruit employees. Negotiations are still underway, so casino employees might expect another raise.
