Casinos that are struck “would use non-union employees and management to keep the hotel and food and beverage sites operating at an acceptable level to attract customers. “The casino floors at all properties would remain functioning as normal because they are not part of Local 54,” she said. These include the number of casinos that are targeted by a strike, and the public’s willingness to patronize them in such an event.
Jane Bokunewicz, director of the Lloyd Levenson Institute at Stockton University, which studies the Atlantic City casino industry, said it is difficult to accurately predict the financial impact of a strike with so many variables in play.
