85 Cage Cashiers Unite for Better Wages, Benefits, and Working Conditions

(BOSTON) – A group of 85 cage cashiers at Encore Boston Harbor has voted overwhelmingly to unionize with Teamsters Local 25. They join 140 Teamsters already employed by the casino.

“We joined the Teamsters because we believe in fairness, respect, and building a better future for everyone on the job,” said Ranjana Thapa, an Encore worker and proud new member of Local 25. “It wasn’t easy, but we overcame every obstacle, stood together through the hard times, and never backed down.”

The cage cashiers, who convert chips and money for customers at the casino, unionized with the Teamsters to fight together for higher pay, better benefits, and a real voice in the workplace.

“These workers fought long and hard, determined to win a strong voice on the job,” said Tom Mari, President of Local 25. “All of us at Local 25 are ready to make sure these new members get the industry-leading pay and benefits that they deserve.”

Teamsters Local 25 represents more than 13,000 members and their families in greater Boston and southern New England. For more information, visit teamsterslocal25.com.
