plans to ensure all customers’ expectations are met during the walkout.
“We want to assure our Atlantic City customers that we will continue to
deliver the high-quality customer service and casino-entertainment
experience they’ve come to expect from Harrah’s,” said Jan Jones, senior
vice president of communications and government affairs for Harrah’s

difficult time, and will continue to pursue good-faith negotiations with
union leaders to facilitate a quick return to work for our union team
members,” Jones said. “As a company, we fully support the superior health
benefits, pension and severance fund increases and wage gains we’ve
offered in our proposed contract, and hope for an amicable, timely
resolution.”
