Amidst the banging of drums and shaking of bells in front of the Harrah’s Philadelphia Casino and Racetrack parking garage, approximately 150 members of three unions shouted, “No contract, no peace.”
“It’s the first time we’ve ever taken public action at this property since it opened,” Ben Albert, secretary/treasurer of Unite Here Local 54, said. “The wages lag way behind the rest of the industry and are not where they should be based on how the company is doing”…
Members of Unite Here 54, Laborers Local 413 and Teamsters Local 107 picketed in front of the facility Friday seeking better wages, better working conditions and a fair contract.
