W.Va. Casino Strike Continues

Summary


CHESTER - Workers walked the picket line at Mountaineer Casino Racetrack & Resort for a fourth day Tuesday, complaining that casino executives made employees promises about great-paying jobs.

The strike by 200 union cashiers, slot technicians and money room workers began early Saturday. No new talks are scheduled between the casino and Local 23 of the United Food & Commercial Workers, which remain far apart on wages and benefits.
