Organizing Update

Twenty gaming technicians in New York now have a CWA voice.

IGT Techs Join CWA

Technicians employed by International Game Technology who fix gaming machines at Monticello, Aqueduct and Yonkers Raceways in New York voted 13 to 7 for representation by CWA Local 1101 in an NLRB election. The workers overcame the tough anti-union campaign waged by a union-busting consultant by building support, taking over the captive audience meetings and wearing CWA gear.

IGT technicians who fix Lotto machines joined CWA last year, and 25 technicians who work for Scientific Gaming joined CWA Local 1105 about two years ago.
