About 20 workers and union representatives demonstrated Wednesday in front of the casino on Russell Street near downtown, calling for raises, holiday pay and other changes. Workers said bargaining has stalled with owner Caesars Entertainment on a contract that expired in October.

Caesars officials did not respond Wednesday to requests for comment.

Employees say they want wages that align with other union-represented hospitality companies in the city.
