Mohegan Tribe to use union labor for expansion
Wednesday, April 2, 2008
The
Mohegan Tribe
of Connecticut has agreed to use union labor for the $1 billion expansion of the
Mohegan Sun Casino
.
The tribe and the New London-Norwich Building and Construction Trades Council came to a project labor agreement. It's the first formal deal of its kind, The Hartford Courant reported.
The union has agreed to respect tribal law and sovereignty. The union recently
opposed
a bill that would have forced tribal casinos to
ban smoking
wherever liquor is served.
The tribe is
adding
a hotel tower, more gaming space, a
House of Blues
music hall, shopping, and bars and restaurants to the casino.
