PA casino workers rallied to ban indoor smoking! 🚭 On Tuesday, CEASE members gathered in Harrisburg urging lawmakers to pass the Protecting Workers from Secondhand Smoke Act, closing a loophole in the 2008 Clean Indoor Air Act. #PASmokeFree#CEASE https://t.co/2QmIjvLkr1
No ruling yet on whether smoking on the casino floor violates N.J.’s constitution. As reported last month, Atlantic City’s largest casino workers union wants the exemption to stay to save jobs. But an analyst says the economic hit would be temporary. @WHYYNews#NewJersey

"They really created menthol as a Black product." — @LincolnMondy
Read more from @NPR to learn about decades of racially targeted marketing by Big Tobacco. It's time for the White House to ban menthol cigarettes and save lives.

@njsenategop@tonybucco@senatortesta Spineless cowards u don’t care about anyone or anything except kick backs from tobacco lobbyists. Blaming dems when u have done nothing. thousands of hard working casino employees in ac have begged u & your corrupt colleagues to end smoking indoors in casinos but u refuse!
Today’s front page of @ThePressofAC: @UAW@ShawnFainUAW urges lawmakers to close the casino smoking loophole.
“The UAW will not compromise on the health of any worker. We reject any amendment in the legislation that would allow workers to ‘volunteer’ to work in smoking rooms.”
As Vegas repositions itself to a sporting event orientation, one wonders how long the athletes and fans will want to stay in smoke-filled buildings...

On Tuesday, May 23, 2023, the Shreveport City Council is voting on an ordinance that will once again allow smoking in casinos. If this happens, Shreveport will be the first city in the U.S. to EVER repeal a smoke-free policy. #SmokeFreeShreveport
11,642 days ago, the sub-minimum wage was set at $2.13. It has not changed since.
It wasn't enough then, and it's definitely not enough now. If you believe we should have raised the $2.13 wage decades ago & want to do something about it, DM us!
"No other group of workers in our state must deal with secondhand smoke like we do — two feet in front of our faces, without even the ability to turn our heads because we’re watching over the chips on the table," said CEASE. #smokefreeAC

@RiversCasinoVA You are ignoring the big picture this is a serious health issue by exposing your casino workers / patrons to toxic dangerous risky secondhand smoking!! Put the smoke outside as Delaware,NY, maryland, connecticut and many other states do by making this casino 209% Smokefree!
If @WeRRestaurants had their way, everyone would be tipping 50% and restaurants wouldn't be paying anyone anything. It's time for restaurants to start paying their workers more than $2.13 / hour - WHICH HASN'T BEEN RAISED IN OVER 30 YEARS BTW.
