Teamsters Local 89 initiated a strike outside Caesars Southern Indiana hotel and casino after failed contract negotiations. The union had set a deadline for the casino to agree to their proposed contract, but the strike was delayed due to flooding in the area. The casino, owned by the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, generated $240 million in revenue in 2024. The union emphasized that their demands, including the ability to retire with dignity, were not unreasonable. The casino did not immediately respond to requests for a statement. The Southern Indiana hotel and casino, which opened in 1998, is located in Harrison County, about a 20-minute drive from downtown Louisville, Kentucky. The strike began after the contract formally expired for over 140 union workers, marking the beginning of a tense labor dispute at the popular casino.
