Atlantic City's Local 54 union opposes UAW's lawsuit seeking to ban smoking in casinos, arguing it could lead to job losses and revenue decline.
Atlantic City's main casino workers union, Local 54 of Unite Here, and New Jersey's attorney general have asked a judge to dismiss a lawsuit brought by the United Auto Workers (UAW) union, which seeks to ban smoking at the city's nine casinos. Local 54 argues that a total smoking ban could lead to the loss of jobs and the livelihoods of 10,000 workers, while also impacting casino revenues. The UAW lawsuit aims to overturn New Jersey's indoor smoking law, which bans smoking in virtually every workplace except casinos.
