Foxwoods Resort Casino and the United Auto Workers union reached a settlement Monday on dozens of unfair labor practice charges filed against the casino during the run-up to a union vote by casino dealers last November.
The UAW won the election, which allowed the union to represent 2,600 table game dealers. Foxwoods is appealing the election results.

ANTIOCH - The ongoing Sutter Health nurse labor strife teetered on the absurd Saturday as an unknown man, wearing sunglasses, a dark thong, knee-high socks and sneakers, ran through the Sutter Delta Medical Center parking lot, briefly joining the protesters.
The brief moment of levity was followed by tense moments 24 hours later when a bus full of replacement nurses struck a picketer at the same campus, causing a debate over a controversial "10-minute rule."

Elected officials and union leaders joined some 4,000 striking registered nurses and their families over the weekend in San Francisco to rally for better patient care at 10 Bay Area hospitals operated by the Sutter Health chain. On Friday, the nurses, members of the California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee (CNA/NNOC), began a 10-day strike against Sutter throughout the Bay Area.

Democrat Ruth Balser of Newton gave the final speech on the House floor before last week's casino vote, warning of the dangers of gambling addiction. She said she was raised never to cross a picket line and considered herself a good friend of labor.
"But, I have to say to the president of the AFL-CIO," she said, "Mr. President, on this you are dead wrong."
From his seat in the gallery overlooking the House chamber, Robert Haynes, head of the state's largest labor organization, leaned forward in his seat and pointed toward Balser.
"No," he said quietly. "She's dead wrong."

Recent history has not been kind to working-class Americans, who were down on the economy long before the word recession was uttered.
The main reason: spiraling health-care costs have been whacking away at their wages. Even though workers are producing more, inflation-adjusted median family income has dipped 2.6 percent -- or nearly $1,000 annually since 2000.

About eight years ago, Indiana Regional Medical Center took 18 months to work out its first contract with newly unionized registered nurses.

SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) - Thousands of nurses are walking off the job at eight Bay Area hospitals Friday.
Nurses who have been without a contract since June 2007 are escalating the labor actions by extending their pattern of 2-day strikes to 10-day strikes. 4,000 nurses plan to walk out Friday, over their concerns about low staffing levels and patient care. "I am disappointed that it has come to this," offered a recovery room nurse from California Pacific Medical Center. "I am angry, however, that it has been allowed to come to this, on the part of management."
