Local 54 of the Unite-HERE union is starting an advertising campaign Thursday on radio stations in southern New Jersey and Philadelphia laying out why workers are threatening to go on strike against five casinos unless a contract is reached by July 1.
The walkout would affect Bally's, Caesars, Harrah's, the Tropicana and the Trump Taj Mahal.
The union is trying to regain some of what it gave back to the casinos in past contracts now that the casinos' finances are stabilizing somewhat.
While declining to reveal the cost, union spokesman Ben Begleiter called it a "significant ad buy" that will run between Thursday and July 1.
