The union said its negotiating committee set a July 30 strike deadline.

“We just want what workers at the other casinos in the city are getting,” J Eger, a bartender at Golden Nugget casino, said in a statement. “We’re not asking for any more or any less than that.”

Workers at seven other casinos in Atlantic City reached a new contract earlier this month.
