ELIZABETH, Ind. — A 13-day strike between union workers and Caesars Southern Indiana has come to an end.
Members of Teamsters Local 89 and Operating Engineers Local 399 approved a new five-year contract by an “overwhelming majority.”
The Teamsters are calling the contract “historic" and said it will serve as a "new foundation for members going forward."
Some of contract highlights include company participation in the Teamsters National 401(k) plan, a $1,500 ratification bonus, $5 in annual increases over the life of the contract, the right to carry raises between departments when transferring, and continued union healthcare with the option to utilize a higher tier plan.
