ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) - Atlantic City's main casino
workers' union demonstrated Thursday outside the offices of the largest owner
of the Revel Casino Hotel, demanding job security in the event of a sale.
The protest by Local 54 of the Unite-HERE union came hours
after Revel president Scott Kreeger said prospective purchasers of the casino
all intend to keep operating it after a sale.
The union tried to meet with officials of Chatham Asset
Management at the firm's Morris County headquarters, but was rebuffed.
Local 54 has expressed concern that a sale could result in
the shutdown of the casino, or large-scale job losses.
Kreeger says he hopes a sale, a joint venture or a
partnership with another company can be reached by the end of the year.
