Union vows to shut down Atlantic City casinos
Union leaders vowed to shut eight of Atlantic City's 11 casinos as 13,000 workers walk out in the first strike since gambling began here in 1978. Pickets blocked entrances, rocks and bottles were thrown, three arrests reported, and security measures shifted to maintain overnight occupancy. Three-year contracts expired at midnight, with Trump Plaza, Trump Castle, and Del Webb's Claridge exempted from the walkout.
