ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Atlantic City casino workers have authorized their leaders to call a strike against the gambling houses if new contracts are not reached by the beginning of July. Members of Local 54 of the Unite Here union on Wednesday authorized their leaders to call a July 1 strike against the Borgata, Caesars, Harrah’s and Tropicana, and a July 3 strike against Hard Rock if new deals are not in place by then. Union president Bob McDevitt said 96% of the “several thousand” union members who cast ballots did so in favor of authorizing a strike.
