Over 15,000 workers across the country in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Baltimore, Mississippi, and Indiana are currently negotiating contracts with Caesars Entertainment.

In time of record income inequality and disparity, Caesars Entertainment Board of Directors has just announced that they are asking their shareholders to approve up to $50 million in bonuses for their executives, directors and about 1% of non-executive employees!

This is completely unacceptable considering thousands of Caesars workers have had minimal or no wage increases after the financial crisis and recession. We are angry and we hope that you are too.

The actual owners of Caesars Entertainment are Wall Street firms - Apollo Global Management and TPG Capital - and they often ask politicians for special treatment. We don’t believe Wall Street firms should be getting favors from the government while they are treating their employees in this unseemly way.

Ask your elected representatives to tell Caesars, Apollo, and TPG to put workers first and negotiate a fair contract with their employees.
