Still Space on DC Bus to Atlantic City Demo

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
Over 60 buses from across the eastern seaboard will descend on Atlantic City this Saturday as thousands rally to support casino workers. Space on the bus from DC is going fast. The bus leaves from the Greenbelt Metro at 8A Saturday and returns to DC around 8P. Despite an overwhelming "Union Yes" vote by a majority of table game dealers and slot machine technicians at four casinos in Atlantic City, the workers are still without a contract a year later. Speakers at Saturday's rally include AFL-CIO President John Sweeney, UAW President Ron Gettelfinger, IAFF President Harold Schaitberger, IUPAT President James Williams, IATSE President Tom Short, UFCW President Joe Hansen, SPFPA President David Hickey, members of Congress, casino workers, and leaders of faith and allied organizations.
