Judge Bartels’ ruling was in response to a recent lawsuit filed by The United Auto Workers, a union that represents Bally’s Tropicana and Caesars casino dealers.
Indoor smoking has been banned in New Jersey since 2006. However, the current laws on the books make room for smoking in casinos and in simulcasting facilities, an allowance casino employees have pushed back against for more than three years.
