ATLANTIC CITY, New Jersey—About 5,000 demonstrators rallied here on June 21 to demand contracts for casino dealers and slot machine technicians who voted to join the United Auto Workers union. Since March 2007, the workers have won six union elections in four casinos—Caesars, Trump Plaza, Bally’s, and the Tropicana. Union members and supporters came from up and down the East Coast and marched throughout the afternoon past the casinos. Casino workers of many nationalities participated in the rally. Members of the Bengal Club, representing some 300 workers from Bangladesh, wore union T-shirts in Bengali.
