The California Legislature passed compacts on Thursday that allow the expansion of tribal casinos as long as the tribes contribute between 15% and 25% of gambling revenues to the state government. The move marked a defeat for labor groups, who wanted to include provisions that would protect the rights of casino employees, and allow unions to organize. Larry talks to Jack Gribbon, California Political Director of Unite Here, the hotel-casino workers' union, and Alberto Torrico, Democratic State Assemblyman from the 20th district, about what these compacts mean for casinos and casino employees in California.
