U.S.
union membership rises for the first time in 25 years
From
Poor Denny's Almanac
On
Jan. 28, 1968, responding
to a complaint filed by the American Federation of Casino
and Gaming Employees, the National Labor Relations Board
upheld a hearing examiner's decision ordering some Las Vegas
casinos to rehire 42 casino workers, halt anti-union activities,
and post notices telling workers they would no longer be
penalized for union activity.

UPDATE
12-23-2007 3:06 p.m. PST, 23:06 GMT/SUT/CUT – Casino
dealers at Caesars Palace on the Las Vegas Strip have
voted to unionize by 380 to 128 of a landslide of 75% "
yes" to 25%" no." Ironically, this is the same
percentage won by the Transportation Workers Union earlier
this year from dealers
at the Wynn-Las Vegas. The bargaining group consists of
about 565 employees.
