A two year contract has been approved by workers at six Atlantic City casinos. Five thousand workers fall under the new contract which sees a wage freeze during the first year. The hotels sought the wage freeze so they could have some time to recover as the country leaves a recession. The contract will allow for wage increases in the second year. Ninety-six percent of the workers represented by UNITE-Here local 54 approved the contract.
