Mohegan Sun Expansion to Use Union Labor

From Indianz:

The Mohegan Tribe of Connecticut has agreed to use union labor for the $1 billion expansion of the Mohegan Sun Casino.

The tribe and the New London-Norwich Building and Construction Trades Council came to a project labor agreement. It’s the first formal deal of its kind, The Hartford Courant reported. The union has agreed to respect tribal law and sovereignty. The union recently opposed a bill that would have forced tribal casinos to ban smoking wherever liquor is served. The tribe is adding a hotel tower, more gaming space, a House of Blues music hall, shopping, and bars and restaurants to the casino.
