The City Council has extended unanimous support to striking workers at Encore Boston Harbor, pledging not to patronize the casino until workers are offered a fair contract.

Around 1,350 casino workers, 41% of Encore’s workforce, represented by UNITE HERE Local 26 and Teamsters Local 25, began striking in early September after contract negotiations stalled with Wynn Resorts. The housekeepers, bartenders, slot attendants, and other workers involved in the strike said wages have not kept pace with the cost of living and that a casino raking in $700 million in gaming revenue should be able to pay employees fairly.

“Encore slow-walked negotiations and played games with our members, and now they’re going to see how big of a mistake that was,” said Local 25 President Thomas G. Mari. “When a company refuses to respect the workers who make its profits possible, we shut it down. The Teamsters don’t cross picket lines and won’t be intimidated.”

Sponsor and Councilor At-Large Henry Santana said he is proud to stand with his labor siblings and back striking workers. Though outside city limits, the resolution establishes that Encore’s workers serve as ambassadors for the Greater Boston area, with many commuting from Boston.

“Boston residents work at businesses across the region, including Encore Boston Harbor in Everett, and the working conditions of employees throughout Greater Boston have a direct impact on our residents and regional economy,” he said. “Encore wants to call themselves Encore Boston, but they don’t want to pay Boston rates. Pay the people,” he added, echoing Everett Mayor Robert Van Campen.

Co-Sponsor Gabriela Coletta Zapata, who represents neighboring Charlestown, said she and her newborn will be walking the picketline shoulder-to-shoulder with striking workers.

“Your labor has value, and it’s about time your contract reflects that,” she said. “Our message is simple, and we stand with you in that message: One job should be enough.”

The rest of the Council took turns praising the striking workers, flexing their respective records supporting organized labor.

State leaders have also voiced support for casino workers. “You don’t get that luxury experience without a human being, through the sweat of their labor, providing that experience,” said Cambridge State Representative Mike Connolly.

The unions representing Encore workers want a $10 per hour pay increase over the next four years, to increase starting pay to $25 an hour, and for guarantees of healthcare and pension benefits.

Wynn Resorts has called these demands unreasonable and argue the average compensation for their workers dwarfs that of similar positions across the state. A spokesperson for the company said it remains committed to reaching an agreement.

“The unions have chosen to initiate a strike despite our continued efforts to reach an agreement through negotiations.

We remain committed to this community, which is why we’re focused on reaching an agreement that is financially sustainable to protect jobs for the long term,” a Wynn spokesperson said.

Encore has remained open for the two weeks of striking and said it would continue operating throughout contract negotiations.
