Casino employees in southern Indiana recently authorized a strike against their employer. More than 140 workers at Caesars Southern Indiana Hotel & Casino voted by a 98% margin to authorize a strike, according to a news release from Teamsters Local 89.
Teamsters say the “overwhelming” vote is a direct response to management’s refusal to offer a fair contract.
“Our members are united and ready to fight for the strongest possible agreement,” said Avral Thompson, President of Local 89. “This vote sends a clear message — we will not back down. If management won’t negotiate in good faith, we’re prepared to take action.”
Caesars Southern Indiana, owned and operated by the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI), pulled in more than $240 million in revenue last year, making it one of the most profitable casinos in the state.
